Live Coaching: How to Stop Yelling at Your Family with Successful Mama Meetup Member Jess #208

 
 


When you want to help your kid, but you’re triggered yourself, it’s really hard to show as the mom you want to be.

Today I’m taking you behind the scenes of one of our July meetups in Successful Mama Meetups. The theme for the month was "Angry Moms Unite," focusing on how to stop yelling at your family and regulate your emotions, so you can show up as the mom you want to be more often.

We’re not looking for perfection, but progress.  Empowerment. Giving you the confidence that you can change the things you want to change cuz you’re not doomed to be a hot mess. 

This is a two-part episode, so you can go back and listen to last week’s episode with the exclusive group discussion and this week you get a peek into the free monthly coaching available to Meetup members. 

Mamas inside of our community volunteer to be coached about whatever’s on their mind, and I help them work through it. Jess shares her struggle with anger and yelling at her family, which I think we can all relate to! 

When you use your emotional regulation tools, you’ll feel more clear and connected in those overwhelming moments. With visualization techniques and a reminder to embrace who you are and how your brain works, you can find peace and happiness amidst the chaos.

In last week’s episode, I dove into our monthly theme, talking about why we get so upset and what we can do about it. How do we manage our emotions throughout the day to be able to have something left in the tank for after school and homework, or the witching hour and bedtime, without losing your ish and shutting everyone out?

Each week we start the meeting with 30 minutes of getting stuff done, then social time for the second half. 

Every week is different because ADHD needs a lot of variety! However, there are some repeating themes, like once a month I do free live coaching and every month I share exclusive lessons and discussions within the Successful Mama Community only.

Other weeks, we hang out in small groups and chat, because there is so much power in showing up, getting things done, and finding support in a community of moms who understand the struggles of parenting with ADHD.

We have 2 bonuses inside of Successful Mama Meetups this month:

Want to set up your day in a way that feels exciting instead of exhausting? Join the ADHD Energy Recharge Workshop on September 21st at noon eastern (yes, there’s a replay.) 

No matter if you’re an early bird or a night owl, I’m sharing how I work with my daily energy cycles with a splash of cycle syncing, to cater to my fluctuating energy levels and lessen the effects of PMDD. 

And when you opt to join the Meetups with an annual membership, I’m giving you my original course for free: Daily Planning: How to Use a Planner for ADHD Moms, which is normally $267.

It’s all inside of Successful Mama Meetups this month.  See you there!

Are you overwhelmed by motherhood and barely keeping your head above water? Are you confused and frustrated by how all the other moms make it look so easy. You can figure out how to manage the chaos in your mind, your home, or your family. I get your mama, parenting with ADHD is hard. Here is your permission slip to let go of the Pinterest worthy visions of organization and structure fit for everyone else. Let's do life like our brains do life creatively, lovingly, and with all our might. When we embrace who we are and how our brains work, we can figure out how to live our lives successfully, and in turn, lead our families well, at the end of the day, we just want to be good moms. but spoiler alert, you are already a great mom. ADHD does not mean you're doomed to be a hot mess mama, you can rewrite your story from shame spiral success story. And I'll be right here beside you to cheer you on. Welcome to Motherhood in ADHD. Hey there successful mama. It's your friend Patricia Sung. Today's episode is part two of taking you behind the scenes into a sneak peek of what we do in successful mama meetups. Now every week is different because we have ADHD and we need variety. But I gave you a taste last week of when we're talking about our theme for the month, one meeting a month we dive into a little a little snippet about why do we do the things that we do. And in this case, we're talking about angry moms unite. How do we stop yelling at everybody all the time? So I recommend when you get a chance go back and listen to the episode before this. We talked about like, why is it that we get so angry? Why do we get so frustrated? And how can we help ourselves feel connected to our families, when we are overwhelmed and bogged down and our proverbial energy battery is at zero. Today is the second part of the sneak peek into successful mama meetups because once a month, they also do a free coaching for one of the mamas. Whoever wants to volunteer and let me know like, hey, I want to change this thing that's going on in my life.

 Patricia Sung  02:08

And we work on it. And today just brought forward like I want to change the emotional volcano that happens with my family. When I just like vomit, my anger on other people. What do I do about that I want to change that I don't want to be in this place. So you're getting a sneak peek into this coaching session where we dive into making this idea of being connected when we're overwhelmed. How do we make that a reality? Now when you're listening to this, you can listen to it in a few different ways you can listen to it and absorb what's working for Jess. But you can also go back and listen to it. And think about the questions that I'm asking her and apply them to yourself. Imagine you were trying to picture your visual representation of how it feels to be connected. And I want you to look at all the different questions that I'm asking her about that connection. And you think about what that feels like for you. What do you notice what's going on with you so that you can also have that very clear, connected feeling of what it's like when you're really connected with your family so that you to have this analogy or metaphor or visual thing so that you can clearly hold on to like this is the kind of mom I want to be this is the kind of connection I want to have with my kids. So that when you're in those struggle bus moments, you can clearly grab a hold to the thing that you know in your heart you want and how you can show up and change your battery usage. So that you can still build connection, even though you don't have a lot of capacity in that moment. So I hope that you will find your visual analogy and be able to see how you can connect into that. And also you can see this example with Jess of how she's connecting into hers. And put that into practice for your own life. And becoming the kind of mom that you want to be more and more frequently. So that you begin to build these connections within yourself and start to rewrite the habits and reaction that aren't serving you and find a better, closer, deeper relationship with you what's inside of you in connecting into that so that you can be the best person that you can be. So welcome to behind the scenes and successful model meetups. And I hope that if this is something you like that you come join us. It's https://www.patriciasung.com/meetup. And I hope to see you there next Wednesday. All right, let's dive into behind the scenes live coaching with chess. If you get comfy in your chair, you can close your eyes or you can keep them open doesn't matter to me, whatever makes you feel the most comfortable. And if you could picture when you want to connect with one of your kids, we want to find like a really clear imagery of what that looks like. And as like a disclaimer reminder that I always tell moms I'm coaching is like whatever comes in your brain first is fine. It doesn't have to be based in reality. It doesn't have to be like oh no, I don't know if I should say that. Like whatever your brain picks like that's what we want to run with and it might change three times while we're talking. But we want to do like what you can Connect with because this imagery isn't for me, it isn't for the other people listening, it's for you. And we want to know what your brain finds because that's the thing that's going to be easiest to hold on to in those moments when you're frustrated. So what do you picture like when you're wanting to connect with one of your kids? What's the first thing that comes into your mind?

 Jess  05:20

I have a nine year old boy and a five year old boy. And the five year old is still in his cutesy, cutesy sweet phase, and the nine year old is in the like, no to everything I say phase. And that is like mostly what fuels the fire of 1000 suns, when he's had like all of the TV in the computer, and then you asked him to do the one thing that he's supposed to. And then, you know, it's like, everything devolves from there kind of a thing. But we had a chance to be there was like camp this weekend. And so he and my husband were away, and I was just with a five year old. And I realized all of a sudden, that had been 14 hours since I'd raised my voice. And I was like, Oh, my God, I can't remember less and then haven't. And it was, because I literally like thinking about this where you were saying like, if I hadn't had that weekend, I wouldn't even remember. Like, we have good times still in the evenings and stuff like that, at night at bedtime. And couples are finally in bed. We're laughing and we're joking. And I always end it on good, right? Like it's always. But in those moments, I can't even remember what like a good moment of that situation is with him. So I'm so glad that I had that weekend, just to remember, like, you know what it is like when somebody calls you from another room and you don't feel like you just feel like, okay, sure. Like, do you want to go to that person? And not like, Yeah, I'm

 Patricia Sung  06:32

gonna time you out. What does that feel like? When you want to connect with them? Yeah,

 Jess  06:36

it feels like, I don't know, like, I was just surprised by this feeling. Because I couldn't even remember, it was so tired. But it feels like this idea that you're like, happy to go and be of service. Like, be helpful be like, what they need you to be. And like, you can just kind of float over there. And like, whatever they need is like, and it's, I know that it was like, I was really, like, I was like just talking to a five year old all weekend instead of both the nine and the five year old. But it's like, I realized, if I have that kind of like, like, what can I do for you, buddy? Like what's, you know, like, if I approach it, instead of being like, Yeah, I'm coming Hold on. Like, if I can find that like floaty, little cloud, like, oh, the little guy needs me. You know, like, there's some sort of an I don't feel taxed by like, getting up and doing whatever it is.

 Patricia Sung  07:25

Why don't you focus on what you don't want the feeling the tax. And once you focus in on what you do want, so that when you talk about like that floaty cloud feeling, yeah. Tell me more about that. What do you notice about it,

 Jess  07:37

just like pleasantly surprised that I was enjoying the little voice that's calling me from another room. And you know, like, I was recognizing that it's a little voice calling me from another room. It was like happy and I was noticing. Instead, it's hard for me to say what I wasn't like, it was more of like howling. It's more of like noticing the sweetness in the moment. And noticing the need from this person who like really needs me. Like, at least they think they need me in the moment. Right? They don't, there was like a happiness and like a want, like a magnetic pole for me to be like, Okay, I'm coming. And it didn't feel tiring. It was like having a full battery and responding to the need. I didn't feel depleted. I just felt like I was just like,

 Patricia Sung  08:25

timeout you again. We don't want to focus on the not want to really hone in on like, what's the thing that, you know, like, wow, I noticed their need, I feel this magnetic pull towards them. I hear that little voice and I'm enjoying helping him. Yeah. What are the other things that you notice? So that you know you're in that space? Like how do you know, inside of you, it could be the things that you're thinking it could be like a physical sensation, it could be just an emotional feeling like it could be anything but like, what are the things inside of you that tell you I'm in this place of wanting this magnetic pole to like, float over on my little cloud and help them? How do you know,

 Jess  09:10

I think it was clearing everything else up. I was able to really understand like, the actual need that my kid was having and hear it as a need and not like a nag for me or so. And so it was like it was once I recognize like hearing that then it was like, Oh, I'm the mommy and this is like I can fix this or I can help this or he wants me and that became like a bonus instead of like a wait. It was like a this is what I do. And this is and He wants us for me and it's not going to be forever like it just it felt much more like a gift and like happy and full like let's go see what it is. I was really pleasantly surprised. All weekend to be like Yeah, and it was like

 Patricia Sung  09:59

I want you to think about How did you know inside of you? That you were in that like, happy full? Like, this feels like a gift? Like, what are the clues that you get that, you know, wow, this is a gift for me to be able to be with him and take care of him. And I feel really happy and enjoyed doing it.

 Jess  10:18

I just felt like hearing him, like ask for me or something. Or then it was, yeah, it was just this easy feeling.

 Patricia Sung  10:29

I was asking about like, specifically what you know, it's a new, you're hearing the clues from him. And you're noticing how you're reacting and being in that like happy fool. This is a gift. It's an easy feeling. You're noticing like, what the clue is like the trigger, or like the not trigger sounds bad. But like, you hear the like, here's the what happened. The clue that started the like cascade for some reason, I'm not finding the word that I want. Like, something that's trigger but not not so terrible sounding. Like that makes like, like the thing that pushed the button. But in this case, it pushed the button and all of a sudden you have this happy, full, easy feeling to it. So I'm going to ask you to like, think about you in what you feel in that moment. What are you noticing within you that you know, this is a happy, full, easy, enjoyable feeling?

 Jess  11:23

I mean, I felt rested. Okay? I mean, there's something when you're talking to the little kid, there's less argument. So like, I knew that like in the response I wasn't, there wasn't going to be any kind of a battle. Like I knew that going in, you know, or the battle is cute, you know, but so I didn't feel tired or like, here we go. Let me put on my battle fatigues. You know, like I feel

 Patricia Sung  11:49

that's not focused on the back, circle back to the good. How do you know that you are happy to serve you feel full, it feels easy. We're looking for like those clues in you, which can be like, the things that you hear. It could be the feelings, it could be like, Oh, wow, my stomach's really calm. I'm breathing really? Easy. I feel pulled in like, Yeah, I'm looking really, really it's hard because I'm asking you to look inside of you for clues that you've not noticed before?

 Jess  12:18

Yeah. Right. It's like, I just felt light, but full, but like, full in an energy way. You know, like I've, like, capable. And I felt like I didn't have any tightness in my chest. It was just like an open, like, warm, kind of happy. And, you know, there was like, a lot more laughter and, you know, like, lighter and just even smiling and in response to questions or this other the other was just I was just lighter and but full, but in a light way. You know,

 Patricia Sung  12:54

when you think about like that lightness, and you hear the laughter and you see the smiles and you feel that openness, there's warmth, there's happiness, when you picture that, is there some kind of visual that comes to mind or like a metaphor like you mentioned the clouds and like the magnetic pole the floating what's an image that's going to help you really solidify what that feeling is? If we wouldn't if we needed to, like pull it in like a week?

 Jess  13:23

I think that yeah, I think like the, the floating and the pink, warm fluffy is i Big to like the visualization of like, not necessarily aura, but kind of like an energy around and like, like, Billy Madison are one of them. Breathe in good out bad in good. blockhead. Like, always, like, I get like, visualize, like, breathe in good krisily Beautiful and like, push out like all this dark. So I do like the idea that it's like a pink fluffy, surrounding, like light that is like, but that there's a connection, like keeping in mind, this kind of connection, like magnetic pole between me and the kids. Because it's like being aware of that and how, you know, you say like, when kids can't do what they need to do or whatever it's because like, they really can't do it. Like they need something like they're acting this way because they need something and like just recognizing that and being more aware to that like radio signal. And it was like, I could clue into that radio signal without any of the other static disturbance around it. Right? And it was like, Oh, I just see that. And I just want to answer that. Like, I'm not taking any kind of onus on my taught you how to do this yesterday or there's that was just like, stay in the positive. He's sending out a signal. And I received that signal. And it's and there's no other emotion around it except for like, I'm gonna answer it and I'm gonna help like, and I'm gonna be there and I just thought I wanted to do that.

 Patricia Sung  14:49

Does the sending and receiving that radio signal connect more than the pink puffy cloud? Are they both happening at the same time?

 Jess  14:57

I think it's like, like he's sentenced over Do you get a signal and like, I just feel this pink fluffy cloud of it, because I'm just receiving that. And like nothing else. Like there's no other static, there's no other noises. It's just that and it's just able to recognize just that. And it was like just clear, you know that that's what that was, it wasn't anything else. And like, I can do that for you. And I wanted to do that for you. Let me wipe your bottom.

 Patricia Sung  15:28

So when you think about like that radio signal, yeah. And it comes in, you got your pink fluffy cloud that's crystally in its surrounding you with light? Is there anything that you could do, and this is like, in our imaginary, you know, metaphor here, sir, anything that you could do that would help that connection be better, whether that's strengthening the radio signal, whether that's creating your, you know, is your cloud doing so like, what would make that easier, stronger,

 Jess  15:56

talking about like batteries, like the third one where it's like using a battery in different ways, or like using make sure when I think, oddly enough, the radio signal comes in very scattered or very static and noise, if when the radios like bill comes in, I have actually holding a phone in my hand, like, if I'm looking at another screen, if I'm distracted, if I think it's my turn to like, check out for the night or punch out for five minutes or something. And then that radio signal comes in, I'm not receiving it in this pure fluffy cloud of light, right. But that's because my battery is doing other things like within the screen itself. It's like the, I realized that and it's like that is the static, right? In that metaphor. It's like, I'm part of the static here, not just being tired from all day, I'm complicating the moment without realizing it. And so I think that that is something that I if I can think about, like, what's the signal that is transmitting? And is it getting through to me clear enough? Because, like, Am I doing everything I can to receive the signal in the pure need that you know, that that is something just now that occurs to me like if I think about it in those them the request now thinking about that does not feel as taxing, like from the nine year old, you know what I mean? Like the, the like, the screaming and crying, like, but I just need five more minutes on the TV or whatever. Like, it's, it's easier for me to think about all that and just see, like, that's a signal on that radio, but like, I can just receive that signal. I don't have to risk. I mean, like, first of all, if I just listened to that one signal, but also like, there's a lot of like emotions that I attached to that signal that's on my side. That's not really there. It's just me attach, which happens with my husband like non stop, right? He says one thing, and then I attach everything to it emotionally and then I react.

 Patricia Sung  17:47

What would have to happen for things to not get attached to the radio signal? I

 Jess  21:31

think seeing the signal as coming from them, to me, like it originates from them. And it's just their stuff and understanding that, like, if I'm putting up static defenses or something like the phone or, you know, not, I haven't done things like eat lunch today, you know, like battery, solar or whatever. But even just the idea that like if I just think of that radio signal as just like, that's their need, and they're creating that. So when it hits me, it's it's just their creation, I shouldn't add anything to their radio signal from my own signal like defenses that honestly like that metaphor really, like makes me feel a lot better, right now because it's like I can separate, I can see the difference between what they need and, and then the radio signal that I wrap around their radio signals of my own emotions. You know, like that makes sense to me that like, Oh, I'm doing that, like I'm also adding to theirs. And they that's not what they're broadcasting at all. But I wrap all this up in there and now. And now I'm like, and then also I'm maybe providing my own static by not having attention in the first place or whatever. And then everything's goes crazy, you know?

 Patricia Sung  22:45

Does that metaphor feel like it fit? Like, is it strong enough that you're like, I don't need to do anything like now that I see it? I'm good like, or do you feel like I need to do something to separate those emotions off the signal coming out.

 Jess  22:55

I think our biggest thing right now is just the way I mean transitioning from summer into summer, because we were late at the end of June, really setting boundaries, or expectations of what the day is like we did it successfully a couple times. And then we've had different schedules. But I've already seen like, if I set the expectation and tell them and remind them this is only how much computer time or this is only much whatever, even if the signal comes at me later that day, like I just need five blocks and the screaming or whatever, I can see that for like they're still knowing they're still gonna freak out on me. But I don't have to get so angry at all of that I can just be like, This is what we said it's not gonna happen. And the answer is no, instead of escalating like I more than often do, but I so the combination of like setting the expect the proper expectations for the day and really thinking months of being like a summer everything's loosey goosey, because then everybody's just in a horrible mood by the end of the day. And then yeah, understanding their needs as like these radio broadcast signals. Oh my god are some people going to be listening to this and not even think in terms of radio broadcasting? And by that?

 Patricia Sung  24:05

I think everybody can picture that.

 Jess  24:06

It's a podcast signal guys, there's a podcast.

 Patricia Sung  24:11

But that's the point that these metaphors is that it's not for anyone else. That's what I was picturing like the old 80s cartoons. But that's the point is that this is your metaphor. It's like, as long as you got it in your head.

 Jess  24:26

I don't know for some reason, like what as we've been talking about this, like if it really was radio saying I really thought about it like that before, until I was thinking of it like that I was already on this pink fluffy cloud, feeling full and happy. And now what happens when people come at me and it's like, when they come at me, that's them. And I said, How do you say it all the time, right? Like as an adult, you're like, oh, people's attitudes have more to do with what's going on with them than you but for some reason we as ADHD people have with our families take it all very very personally and then just lose our freaking minds. Right? But like thinking about what if I am already on this painful Be cloud and like being reminded of what it felt like just to feel relaxed and happy when somebody did call on me. Like just the reminder that helped me today a little bit. But like thinking of the pink fluffy cloud and being fault, it's like I can see their needs. And it's almost like, even though my power is really low, and like my battery's low, understanding that, like, if they're freaking out, their battery on their level is like, very, very low or non existent, either. Right? So it's like, almost like, Okay, if, like you said, like, your, your partner might say that they only have 10%. And you're like, Okay, someone's gonna pull it together a little bit, you know, reformat the situation. But yeah, I don't know, I like trying to keep in mind that like happy pink fluffy, fulfilling, and then realizing what I'm providing the static, you know, like, I thought I was gonna get five minutes upstairs quiet time, you know, but I didn't. And trying to overcome that and try to find the point where it's like, think about their broadcast need, instead of like, a weight of it, you know, like more of like a gift to answer it or whatever, like, ability. Yeah, I didn't do those words in the sentence.

 Patricia Sung  26:07

So now you got your very clear picture on how to in those moments when things are feeling stressful to lean in and picture your pink fluffy cloud seeing their radio signal. And to know like, this is what your brain wants to latch on to know is to say, I want it to connect into that place where I feel like this is enjoyable and floating on this cloud, it feels easy, and I feel rested and capable, it's warm and happy. And I can hear the laughter. And I can see the smiling and knowing that this, like me being in this place of connection, and the lightness allows me to hear their signal coming in and receive it in its purest form, and not have it be anything different than what they've given me and allow yourself that capacity to react in that way that feels again, open and warm. And that you're then able to be really connected with them in that place. Because the signal can come in clearly. So when you're in those moments, finding some kind of like, what's that thing that's gonna, like, catch me in the moment to be like pink, pink, fluffy, cloud, pink, fluffy cloud, or like radio signal, like, Where's the thing that's gonna kind of like jumpstart, that when you head down the path that you've always had a down at any point, whether you've just started or you're far down the path, being able to connect in and be like, Alright, okay, thankful for God, I'm here, okay, I'm warm, I'm open. And then you allow yourself to proceed forward and a different way, no matter how far along that path was. And the more that you're connecting into that, the more that it will repeat, and the more that it will solidify. And the more that it'll be easier to connect to, the faster you'll connect into that too, and allow that old path to grow over and be covered in weeds again, so that your new path is clear and strong.
