About The Orange RhinoÂŪ
Hi, I’m so happy you are here! I’m Sheila also known as The Orange RhinoÂŪ or as my four boys (now ages 19,18,16 and 14) call me, Mommm!
This wonderful community started years ago when I created The Orange Rhino ChallengeÂŪ to go a year without yelling at my sons, they ages five and under. I succeeded and actually went 520 days straight – but that wasn’t what I was most excited about. All the tools I taught myself to yell less, and all the insights I learned and embraced, helped me love my life, myself, and time with my kids more.
Today the real The Orange Rhino ChallengeÂŪ is to keep that love going because let’s be honest, life can be hard sometimes, wicked tough even! Not only that, I’m human and it’s a challenge to always respond with warmth and love, especially when life feels pretty heavy.
I know how it feels when life charges right at us – been there, done that, came out the other side more times than I can count. But that wasnât always true. I used to get stuck in the muck of life and when I did, I missed out on living the full life I wanted. I yelled out at those I loved.Â
Life and parenting can be hard and I hope to help you handle it with more ease. Iâm not here to give you more âto-doâsâ or heavy advice. Nope, not at all. Iâm here to help you feel a little bit brighter, lighter, and stronger, so when the challenges do come along, you are in a goodish enough play to be able to keep moving forwards and not get stuck in the muck.Â
