Today I’m so honored to be joined by Julie King and Joanna Faber who are the authors of two of my favorite books, How to Talk When Kids Won’t Listen and How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen. With no exaggeration, these two books have totally transformed not only my parenting journey, but also my time in the classroom and as a summer camp director.

In this episode How to Talk When Kids Won’t Listen, we cover:

• Joanna and Julie’s journeys of parenthood and the ways they were humbled along the way

• Giving yourself lots of grace and so many chances to try again

• The connection between how kids (and adults) feel and how they behave

• Focusing on problem solving over punishment

• Teaching our kids how to address conflict in a healthy way so that we can respect needs and feelings of all people

• Suggestions on ways to inspire play between you and your kids

• How this approach affects (and helps!) the teenage years with kids

More about the Gather in Growth podcast: 

Gather in Growth is more than a podcast—it’s a sanctuary for women coming home to themselves and each other. A sacred space to expand horizons, reignite our power, and live unapologetically as our fullest, most authentic selves.

Hosted by Emily Reuschel, this is a gathering place for the doers, dreamers, and seekers who crave connection, purpose, and meaningful impact. Through raw conversations and soul-deep reflections, we’ll embrace curiosity, step to the edges of our comfort zones, and defy expectations.

Picture this: women gathered around a fire, sharing stories with open hearts—connecting, healing, and evolving together. That’s the spirit of Gather in Growth. This is our space to awaken and embody the lives we’ve been yearning for—lives rooted in alignment, guided by intuition, and built with intention.

If you’re ready to move beyond limits and labels, cultivate deep inner trust, and courageously embrace the magic of who you are, then welcome home. Together, let’s Gather in Growth.

Share the Love!
