Episode Synopsis

Do you ever wonder how that inner voice of yours is shaping your world and impacting your mental health, your body, your reality and especially your relationships?  Andrea Rowley (an expert in cognitive behavioral coaching and Chief Clinical Coach Officer at Noble Health) joins us this week to share how,"Our language is defining what we believe about ourselves."Andrea suggests considering questions like,"What am I missing?" “Maybe there is more to this inner narrative outside of me, that I am not seeing?” This shift away from yourself-centric mid brain, not only fosters a healthier self-relationship, but also activates the brain'sproblem-solving prefrontal cortex. Dr. Skinner adds, "Curiosity is a huge factor here," encouraging listeners to replace our self-condemnation with curiosity and challenging our ingrained negative beliefs. Asking ourselves and our children frequently:“How is your relationship with yourself? How are you speaking to yourself? How are you treating yourself?” ….These questions can reframe our miscalculated and misguided ideas about our worth and especially recenter our own children’s sense of worth. Small simple shifts to more positive and compassionate inner language can move mental mountains!We hope you will join us this week on Finding Noble!You and us--We got this,Carly Red & Dr. SkinnerShow Notes:00:00 Introduction and Guest Bio02:02 The Power of Communication04:36 Understanding Self Talk06:10 Origins of Negative Self Talk10:55 Transforming Negative Self Talk17:32 Developing Self Compassion23:49 Setting Boundaries and Self-Compassion24:39 Creating New Neural Pathways25:29 Parenting Without Self-Judgment26:50 Handling Public Parenting Challenges28:24 Visualizing Positive Self-Talk29:14 Mindfulness and Self-Dialogue29:37 Encouraging Positive Self-Talk in Children30:36 Practical Tips for Positive Self-Talk32:42 Challenging Negative Core Beliefs35:37 Self-Compassion and Compassion for Others39:50 Attuning to Children's Emotions44:20 Reflective Listening with Children46:27 Final Thoughts on Self-Talk and Mental HealthWatch the episodes on Youtube:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FindingNoblePodcast⁠⁠⁠https://findingnoble.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We are hoping to help homes, families and educators everywhere…so please like, review, subscribe and... even share with friends and family looking for parenting support.To subscribe to helpful emails head here:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://findingnoble.com/about/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch the episodes on Youtube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FindingNoblePodcast
