Ep #212 Discomfort Is the Teacher
Episode 212
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
In today’s episode of the Connect Method Parenting Podcast, we’re talking about embodying emotions. NOT just noticing them, NOT just allowing them, but fully living inside the emotional experience while simultaneously creating from the end in mind.I’m sharing ten lessons I’ve learned about emotional embodiment through real, everyday experiences, from almost running out of battery in my Tesla while crossing a mountain range, to completing a 72-hour fast, to sitting with doubt, fear, hunger, uncertainty, and growth without trying to escape or fix any of it.You’ll hear how embodying emotions doesn’t mean positive thinking, bypassing discomfort, or managing feelings so they go away. It means learning how to be fully present with fear and faith, worry and gratitude, and uncertainty and intention at the same time.In this episode, we explore:What it actually means to embody emotions, not just feel or process themHow to live from the end in mind without abandoning the present momentWhy powerful questions can completely shift your nervous systemHow beliefs quietly create your lived reality, especially in parentingWhy buffering (food, distraction, productivity) blocks emotional growthHow past “failures” can inform growth without defining youWhy presence, not willpower, is the practiceHow emotional embodiment leads to calm, confident parenting even during conflictMost importantly, we talk about how this work shows up in parenting: Staying grounded during tantrums. Holding boundaries without anger. Responding instead of reacting. Teaching your kids that emotions are safe, and that nothing has gone wrong just because feelings are big.You don’t need to fast for 72 hours or nearly get stranded on a mountain to practice this. You can start small, with irritation, overwhelm, frustration, or doubt, and learn how to sit in the full human experience while choosing connection, belief, and intention.This is the work. It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it changes everything.Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista
