Compassionate Heart Mindful Life Parenting
Gentle parenting, specifically Hand in Hand Parenting, is awesome and sometimes REALLY hard.
As a parent myself my Hand In Hand parenting and peaceful parenting are a constant work in progress.
I'm a Mom of 3 and an Emotionally Focused Family Therapist Supervisor.
In this podcast I share what I've learned while using Hand In Hand Parenting with my own children as well as what I've learned as a therapist to help other parents know they are not alone in their struggles.
I help parents tune into their own inner challenges which may make gentle parenting, Hand in Hand Parenting, and peaceful parenting difficult at times.
Here you will find:
- Quick, bite-sized strategies to reclaim your sanity and clarity of mind amidst chaos
- Tools to find relief from shame and guilt
- A game plan to shift from yelling to connecting with your children
- How to pause so you can respond rather than react in life’s toughest parenting moments
- Playful parenting ideas
- A deep sense in your core you are not alone, and you are a good parent
Find Your Balance & Inner Calm with Compassionate Heart Mindful Life.
