Helping you rise in love, life, and leadership—without guilt, burnout, or forgetting who you are underneath it all. This isn’t just a podcast about parenting. It’s not another productivity hack show either. It’s about you—the woman behind all the roles you carry. The one holding so much together on the outside, but quietly wondering: “Where did I go?” You love your people. You’re great at what you do. But deep down, you want more. More connection. More meaning. More of you in your own life. I’m Mital Patel—life and success coach, mom of two, full-time leader, cancer warrior in healing, and a woman who spent decade in silent survival mode while my husband battled addiction. I know what it’s like to put everyone else first and leave your own dreams on the back burner. To achieve and still feel empty. To look strong, but feel exhausted. This podcast is for the woman who wants it all—but not at the cost of herself. Every Monday, I share honest stories, mindset shifts, and simple, soul-aligned systems that helped me rise from burnout, breakdowns, and “busy” culture—and into a life that actually fits. Because you don’t have to choose between success and self. You don’t have to trade connection for ambition. You get to have both. If you’re craving honest conversations, healing laughter, and a path to thrive in all you do—you’re in the right place. Let’s rise—together.

How can you respond when a child deliberately does something like throw a block at your head, draws on the couch, pinches the brother?
When kids push boundaries and our limits, many of us get overwhelmed, annoyed, terrified, even up to the limit where we really want to punish our children to make them listen. This can all be so consuming and feels hard at times.
However, research has shown that punishments are actually very counterproductive, hurtful, and harmful. These yelling, spanking, shaming and other forms of punishment actually teach nothing to our kids. They might teach kids to obey, but out of guilt or fear, which can cause big problems like anxiety and depression down the road. When they no longer fear us, they'll no longer have a reason to cooperate or listen.
So they will likely keep pushing our limits and disobeying not listening, ignoring us acting out until we respond with the clear limits. We need to set clear limits, in order for them to feel safe.
In today's episode, I am going to share three steps on how to respond in situations where you kids are throwing and hitting.
