What would happen if I LEVERAGED the ADVANTAGES of parenting and this time in my life, as a mom, to INSPIRE me to IGNITE my own Dreams? To become everything I ever wanted and be a really awesome role model for my children? And at the same time, create the change I wanted to see in their world and mine? What if every parent did this, instead of counting the years ‘til “they get their life back”? And every child grew up to be just like his or her inspiring mom or dad? It could be game-changing for our world! My heart opened to the possibilities parenthood was bringing in to our world. I gave birth to this idea that Game-Changing ParentsTM can change the world in this generation. And it starts in every heart and home, right now. The 3 Commitments: A Compass to Your Life’s Truest Calling Game-Changing ParentsTM don’t want their kids to grow up with parents who only pretend to love their lives, careers, themselves and each other. Instead of saying ‘I’ll get my life back when the kids are grow up, they flip it around to leverage these years as the best ones to create their dreams. Their kids help them. Game-Changing Parents Commitment 1: Be Great at Being My Whole Self! TM I am my truth, I spark my dreams and fulfill my potential in every area of my life. This commitment is about getting honest and soulfully naked: Am I being all of me? Am I connected or disconnected from what I deeply desire? And I creating the life that I want to remember having lived when I’m old? When I completed this step, I saw just how much I was lying to myself and pretending to be great. I realized that if I didn’t show up as the ‘real me’ to my life now, my kids wouldn’t get to have the mom they’re supposed to have and I would be at a higher risk of a midlife crisis later on. Game-Changing ParentsTM Commitment 2: 56 Be an Awesome Parent! I am mindful, conscious, present and caring in all my interactions with my family and myself. This commitment is about intentionally designing relationships and a life you’ll love for a lifetime. It’s about shifting away from comparing, complaining and being complacent to, instead, creating our own version of freedom and success – starting in our hearts and home. It’s about coming home to yourself. Reconnecting to what you really value. It’s about choosing to be connected and working together. And team up with our kids and other parents to create the world we want to live in, starting in our hearts and home. Game-Changing ParentsTM Commitment 3: Be a Change Maker! I am someone who makes a difference in my world and my kids’ world. I contribute my gifts in a meaningful way that improves the world I live in. When I started to really implement the commitment of using work that makes us as parents happy and impacts the family and beyond in a positive way... I moved from “I’m an artist who paints canvases and makes jewellery” to I’m a woman who helps parents create their dreams with the world of possibilities that exists in their lives. And it’s sparking miracles in hearts and homes worldwide. All 3 of these commitments make up the foundational elements of the Raising FreedomTM private coaching method I use with my clients and in the Game-Changing ParentsTM group program. The strategies we use are NOT band-aid solutions to add more time to life… They’re about creating LASTING changes that boost your personal and family happiness, and help you and your family design a life that allow for more meaningful life, work and play for everyone. … So you smile back on these precious years knowing you turned “full on” into fulfilled when took on these commitments, became your own fairy and created magic in your heart and home. xo Anne-Sophie
