Show notes

In this episode of The Mellow Mama Podcast we're diving deep into the world of conscious parenting—what it really is, what it isn't, and the biggest myths that might be holding you back. From the misconception that conscious parenting means letting kids "do whatever they want" to the truth about setting boundaries with curiosity and compassion, we're uncovering the reality behind this powerful practice.

If you've ever wondered whether conscious parenting is too "woo woo" or unrealistic, this episode is for you. Listen in as we break down the misconceptions, share practical insights, and help you parent with more awareness, connection, and confidence.

Nonviolent Communication will Change your Life and Parenting Pt 1 Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

A new mini book club series on another one of my all-time favorite books! Nonviolent Communication by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg.
Starting with the first two chapters & developing a foundation for healthier communication skills with anyone in your life focusing on these four pillars:
Observations, Feelings, Needs, and Requests.
As we proceed with reviewing this material you will feel more confident in expressing yourself, but even more importantly... become a better listener and observer. Getting more in-tune and deeply curious about the people around you and what it is they really need and are asking for. Even if... if isn't being asked for in a nonviolent way.
Here's my course and other online products!
