Aware Parenting Stories

About the podcast
Each week I interview inspiring parents to discuss the joys and challenges of parenting that we all face in our families.

I talk to parenting experts and Aware Parenting Instructors to explore many aspects of raising children. People share their stories about parenting in this way, what they have loved and what they have found challenging and how parenting has supported them to heal their own childhood pain. The aim is to inspire us all on our parenting adventures, to build more connection and community and to support us all to offer more compassion to ourselves and our children.
