Excellent content for both parents and for child-free adults!!

I’ve been listening to Anna for about a year, and she quickly made it onto my listen-to-every-episode list. Over the past year, I’ve sent multiple episodes to my child-free friends because the content is so applicable to adults in general. Having said that, her guidance and suggestions and even just her personal musings have brought so much richness to my parenting approaches. Her content has helped me cultivate a deeper level of self-compassion, positive self-talk, and sincere self-care, which has all worked together to make parenting easier without changing a thing about my kid’s behavior. I’ve listened to many episodes multiple times, including How to Regulate Your Nervous System, and Mother Hunger: How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal From Lost Protection, Guidance and Nurturance. I’ve listened to both of these three times, and I’m sure I’m not done. Her content has also helped me cultivate a deeper sense of sincere empathy for my kid, and helped me focus on developing strategies for connection and collaboration with them versus ways to change their behaviors. As a consequence, I’m seeing far more desired behaviors without the power struggles.

I recommend this show to anyone hoping to heal from childhood trauma in order to live a life with contentment, ease, compassion and delight. Being a parent is not required.

So grateful for this podcast.

Anna’s parenting wisdom has been helping me for the past eight years of my parenting, and for that I am so grateful. I love how real she is and how she coaches with no judgment, just compassion. I refer back to this podcast constantly for different topics, since she’s covered so much. And her guest speakers are just as inspirational as she is. One of my favorite parenting podcasts/resources for sure!

Great parenting resource

Anna does a lovely job with finding authors, methods, and discuss new ideas in the parenting space that help to stop generational patterns. Helping parents determine who they are and how they want to show up authentically.
