  • PARENTING

The Warrior Parent podcast is dedicated to informing and supporting families around parenting and mental wellness. We're here to talk about some of the many issues facing our kids today and how we can show up as warrior advocates for them. Being a kid is incredibly challenging right now and so is being a parent or caregiver. Everyday we hear about school shootings, rising rates of completed suicides, attempted suicides and folks just thinking that this might be the answer for them. We hear about how depressed and anxious our kids are and more than anything we want to help. The Warrior Parent podcast seeks to create a community where we can talk about these challenging issues, support each other, bring facts and experts to help us learn the most effective, kindest and most open-hearted way to show up for our kids and families. As moms of kids with many of these challenges, we have spent the last several years adapting proven mind-body tools that kids and families can use everyday to help them stay centered, peaceful and emotionally regulated. We've created a digital platform so we can share these tools with you wherever you are. Our vision is to empower kids and families to live their very best, most joyful and fulfilling lives. Parenting is the hardest job you'll ever do and it calls for an open-hearted warrior mentality to lift, support and help launch our kids into becoming the very best, fullest and most authentic version of themselves. Won't you join us as we show up and do our best for our kids?
