The Masterful Parenting Podcast - Heal Your Childhood and Parent Better Through Relational Parenting
Do you struggle in your parenting because of childhood pain? Do you sometimes repeat old patterns from your childhood? You want to be a better parent, but you don’t know how. I understand, parents. I came from dysfunction, trauma, and abuse. I didn’t know what was healthy. Over the years, as a school counsellor, and mom of two, I learned what is healthy and how to be healthy with my own children. There’s a better way to parent where you feel good and so do your children. This way can replace the old patterns so you can nurture healthy relationships with your kids. This is relational parenting. This is what I teach parents. Hi, I’m Anne Alvares, Parent Coach of the Masterful Parenting Program. In this 9 week program, I will help you to heal, gain confidence in your parenting and foster healthy relationships with your kids. You will learn how to become more self-aware, how to connect better, and ways to communicate that touches your child’s heart. I have helped many parents over the years as a high school counsellor and teacher and I am also the mother of two boys, age 23 and 13. I understand the challenges of parenting and have gained the skills to help keep peace and build relationship with your kids. And I can help you too. If you want to feel confident about your parenting, less tired, more connected, and more appreciated by your kids, then you are in the right place. Join me in my Masterful Parenting Podcast. I truly believe parents can feel empowered in their role and we can change the world one parent at a time.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Anne Alvares.
I came from childhood pain. I suffered abuse, controlling parents, and was parentified. My healing journey began almost 30 years ago when I first told my story.

Now, I teach parents how to foster healthy relationships with their kids. When we uncover our childhood story and become aware of our triggers, we can begin to heal and change. When we do this, our children thrive and we can feel good about our parenting.

Do you still use punishment to get your teenager to comply? Do you take things away, ground them, or demand they change or else?
Let me give you some insights as to what punishment actually does to our kids.
With the thousands of conversations I have had with teens over the last 16 years, I know what punishment and unhealthy behaviour does. It damages them.
I will give you another way, a healthier way, to get compliance. This way does not damage. This way boosts our teen's self esteem.
Listen in to Episode 74 on the Masterful Parenting Podcast as I unveil all the secrets to getting our kids on board with us.
Airs tomorrow.

Ivan Hardcastle. Occupational Therapist and Parent Coach.
I began my professional life as an occupational therapist in Twin Falls helping children with special needs to thrive. As a therapist, I have helped children who struggle with emotional regulation, autism, sensory integration and processing dysfunction, dyslexia, toileting accidents, and a wide variety of additional challenges.
In 2024, I expanded my reach and began helping parents of children with behavioral challenges thrive through coaching for emotional and sensory skills to use in the home... (more below)
I continue to affect lives through coaching and presenting to varied parent and professional groups throughout the world. My parent coaching expands my ability to give families the tools to help children succeed and thrive in their own home!
Together with my wife, I have raised five neurodivergent children.

My name is Chris Murray, and I'm a single Father coach teaching the IMPORTANCE of "inner-child" bonding, AWARENESS behind excessive screen-time, and emotional immersion unto your child/children's psychological, physical and Spiritual attends.
From being in a FORCED situation due to my Son losing his Mummy to Covid-19, and parenting across generations-which presents many complexities and much conflict-I knew that the pressure was ON to come through for my Son.
In ADDITION to parenting across generations, there is also the "age discrepancies" with my Son being 6, his Nan 72 and me at 37 years of age respectively.
But I KNEW that I had to find a WAY for my Son as a man, and as his Father.
After a LOT of trail and error surrounding the situation, I have now MASTERED the ART of playfulness, attentiveness and self-control to ensure that my Son and his Father has an enriching and nourishing BOND.
It's my wish to help out other parents and their children to forge a much more DEEPER connection of authenticity, purity and LOVE.

Masterful Parenting
Does the pain from your childhood get in the way of you becoming the parent you want to be? Do you get triggered by what your child says and become over reactive and at times irrational. You are not alone, believe me. I too have carried pain from my childhood and I have struggled to be the parent I wanted to be. And parenting can be difficult at times. But what if I told you that there's a way to heal from your childhood pain, feel more energized, less reactive, more confident, and truly enjoy your children.
In the Masterful Parenting Program that runs for 8 weeks, I will help you become the parent you want to be. You will know how to heal from your own childhood, become more self-aware, learn how to connect better, and ways to communicate that touches your child's heart and ultimately have a healthy relationship with your child. I have helped many parents, as a high school counsellor, and I am also the mother of two boys, ages 23 and 13. My healing has come from by parenting and yours can, too.
If you want to heal, feel good about your parenting, less tired, more connected, and more appreciated by your kids, message me for a free 30 minute helping session and we will make a plan!
I truly believe parents can heal and raise healthy children and in doing this we will change the world. Let's do this!
