Ep. #99: Who's Driving the Car?

Julia McGarey

May 31, 2023

I want to share a metaphor with you today that is helpful for adults and school-aged kids alike.

To be clear, I didn't come up with this metaphor. You may have heard it before. But it can be such a helpful tool, I just had to give it an episode, a place to live on this podcast.

This one is all about allowing your emotions, and honoring your emotions, but not being dominated by them.

So if your child - or you for that matter - tends to blow up when they get angry or tries to be tough and hold it together when they're sad or hurt, this one's for you.

Each week life coach Julia McGarey shares her experience of high sensitivity and guides you through the paradigm shifts needed to be the parent your sensitive child needs. Together we can create a new parenting paradigm.
