    Mar 14 2025

Join Whinypaluza host Rebecca Greene as she chats with Danielle Lindner, an award-winning author, parenting coach, and early childhood education expert. Danielle shares her journey from aspiring lawyer to educator and entrepreneur, offering insights from her book Parent’s Pocket Guide to Surviving the Preschool Years and her work as the founder of The London Day School. Key Takeaways → ➡️ Parenting is a journey, not perfection. Social media portrays perfect parents, but real parenting is about doing your best. ➡️ Transitions are tough—but manageable. Preparing children for transitions, from preschool to college, helps build confidence. ➡️ Tantrums aren’t just for toddlers. Identifying triggers and responding calmly can help kids of all ages navigate emotions. ➡️ Separation anxiety? Keep it positive. Parents set the emotional tone—confidence and consistency ease the process. ➡️ Technology needs boundaries. Creating a family tech contract promotes healthy screen habits. 📢 Danielle’s Words of Wisdom 🗨️ "Kids mirror what they see—your calmness, your patience, and your confidence shape their behaviors." 🗨️ "Separation anxiety is harder for parents than kids. Set a positive tone, and they will follow your lead."

    Episode 426: Embracing Wisdom from Ella as she turns Sweet Sixteen
    Mar 12 2025
    What can we learn from our children as they grow up? In this heartfelt episode of Whinypaluza Wednesday, host Rebecca Greene and her husband Seth reflect on the valuable life lessons they've learned from their middle child, Ella, who just turned 16. Rebecca shares how our children often become our greatest teachers, offering wisdom and perspective that can transform how we approach life's challenges. Through personal stories and honest reflections, this episode reminds parents that while we guide our children, they also have profound lessons to teach us. Rebecca opens up about her journey as Ella's mother, from the unexpected early arrival that taught her flexibility to the daily examples of mindfulness and authenticity that Ella embodies. As her daughter reaches this milestone birthday, Rebecca shares how Ella's unique approach to life—her thoughtfulness, her ability to set boundaries, her individuality, and her unconditional love—has shaped Rebecca's growth as a person and parent. The conversation reveals how children can be mirrors, showing us our strengths and areas where we need to evolve. Key Takeaways ✓ Life happens while you're making plans - Ella's premature birth and NICU stay taught Rebecca that flexibility and adaptability are essential parenting skills. Plans don't always unfold as expected, and that's okay. ✓ March to your own drum - Ella demonstrates the power of authenticity, choosing her path rather than following trends. From celebrating her birthday with a simple game night instead of an elaborate party to questioning information before accepting it, Ella shows the importance of thinking independently. ✓ Live in the moment - Ella's natural ability to be present—whether photographing something beautiful or truly listening to others—reminds her parents to slow down and appreciate what's happening right now instead of constantly racing to the next thing. ✓ Self-care is non-negotiable - Unlike her mom, who loves saying "yes" to everything, Ella models healthy boundary-setting by knowing when to rest, regroup, and decline activities that would deplete her energy. She prioritizes her needs without guilt. ✓ Be a fully present listener - Ella's exceptional listening skills make her a great daughter and a valued friend. She demonstrates that sometimes the most helpful response isn't advice but simply being fully attentive to what others say. Quotes from the Episode "Our kids are our greatest teachers, and my kids teach me so many lessons. I think they teach us as much as we teach them." — Rebecca Greene "If I could go back, I would put things into such a different perspective for myself. The most important thing is that mom is okay and baby is okay." — Rebecca Greene Connect with Whinypaluza Website: whinypaluza.com LinkTree: linktr.ee/whinypaluzamom Join the Whinypaluza Mom Facebook group for the March challenge Subscribe to Rebecca's three-times-a-week newsletter for more parenting insights Look for Ella's special birthday interview episode that dropped on March 7th, 2025.

    Mar 7 2025
    What's it like turning 16 and navigating the challenges of high school, driving fears, and ambitious goals? In this heartwarming family episode of Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with her daughter Ella as she approaches her 16th birthday. Joined by husband Seth, this candid parent-daughter conversation offers listeners a rare glimpse into a remarkable teenager's thoughts, dreams, and wisdom on the cusp of this milestone birthday. From her surprising candor about driving anxiety to her impressive academic achievements and ambitious goals for the future, Ella opens up about what matters most to her. Between thoughtful reflections on self-confidence, education, and career aspirations, Ella shares insights that reveal wisdom beyond her years while still capturing the authentic challenges of teenage life. Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Turning 16 brings mixed emotions – while Ella admits being "scared to drive," her parents provide perspective and encouragement that it's a natural step toward greater independence and freedom. 2️⃣ Ella maintains a remarkable 99.6 average in school through disciplined prioritization, explaining that "the only thing that can't be taken from you is education" – a philosophy that has shaped her approach to academics. 3️⃣ Self-confidence has been a journey for Ella since age 11, but the past year has brought significant growth as she's "proven herself to herself" through accomplishments and challenging experiences. 4️⃣ The Greene family values open communication, with Ella appreciating that her parents "allow us to have hard conversations" while also modeling a strong work ethic and intellectual curiosity. 5️⃣ Ella's ambitious plans include starting a school newspaper/podcast, launching a nonprofit called "Clear Media Project" focused on media literacy, and aiming for leadership positions in drama club and student government. 6️⃣ Her career aspirations include becoming an international correspondent for major news organizations like The New York Times or BBC, combining her passion for communication, writing, and addressing media bias. Memorable Quotes: "Trust yourself. You know what you need. You know what's best for you. You know what you are capable of more than anyone else. So the person who it is most important for you to trust in this life is yourself." – Ella Greene "I think we could all afford to read more so that we could expand our collective knowledge and ability to critically think. That is a change I would make. I would make more people read." – Ella Greene About the Guest: Ella Greene is the daughter of podcast host Rebecca Greene and her husband Seth. A high-achieving student with a 99.6 grade average, Ella is passionate about media literacy, journalism, and making positive change.
