The Parenting Coach Podcast Crystal the Parenting Coach

Do you feel like parenting certain kids seems harder than others? I have a few spicy children and parenting them has been one of the biggest challenges of my life (and also SO rewarding). Join Mary Van Geffen and I as we chat all about spicy ones, both in how to parent them, and how to parent as one.

Did you feel entirely unprepared for new-mom-hood with your first child? Or maybe you’re currently prepping for that experience and looking for support? Dr. Erin Appleton, MD IBCLC FABM, joins me on the podcast today to discuss the BIG things: breastfeeding (and infant feeding in general), postpartum anxiety and depression, and the trauma that mothers deal with when delivery and postpartum are so vastly different than “the plan”.

We are wrapping up our 8-month international Worldschooling journey. We have been travelling since the end of September with our 4 kiddos, making it around the world and back again. I thought I would share some practical tips on travelling with kids, and what I’ve learned- but what came out of this episode was much deeper than that- how I have fundamentally changed as a human- and the life lessons that have come to me.

A childhood full of fun, confidence, peace, safety, rest and SO much play, is not only healthy for our children now- but can have an amazing impact on them in adulthood. Tune into this episode where we tackle the intersection of inner child healing, parenting in a way that feels good to our souls and protecting our children’s childhood.
