68: Kim Ades On Blended Families and Frame of Mind

Kim Ades is the president and founder of Frame of Mind Coaching and JournalEngineTM Software. Author, speaker, entrepreneur, coach, and mother of five, Kim is recognized as one of North America’s foremost experts on performance through thought mastery. By using her unique process of integrating online journaling in her coaching, Kim helps her highly-driven clients to examine and shift their thinking in order to yield extraordinary results.

I was so fascinated to learn about Kim’s family. She and her husband married 8 years ago and brought together 5 children, ages 9-14, to build a new family. Kim quickly learned a lot about what it took to function and thrive as a blended family. Listen in as she shares:

The significance of traveling as one unit
The power of new traditions (like hot dog stuffed turkey)
The importance of the Family Meeting and the format she recommends (what’s working , what would you do different, what is one request)
The difference between parenting and childing
The truth about parenthood and self management

Professionally, Kim has taken her work with Frame of Mind Coaching to a different level than many of the coaches I have spoken to. Listen in to hear Kim share:

The specific and unique formula she uses to help through major life breakthroughs
The significance of journaling in her practice and why it is crucial for growth
Why we have to go back and rewrite out own stories if we want to move forward in our current space

Lastly, Kim invites you to assess your own frame of mind with her online assessment. This assessment will give you a sense of what’s keeping you stuck, and how our coaching can help get you past it.
