    Ep #160: Parenting the Ayurvedic Way with Katie Rose

    Parenting is challenging, and it can be difficult to know what voices to listen to because everyone has an opinion. In this week's episode I visit with Katie Rose, founder of Bhakti Rose based out of Australia about the art of parenting with Ayurveda. What does Ayurvedic parenting look like? How do you know if you are doing it 'right'? Katie and I discuss how to model Ayurvedic living to our children, how to give them space to make their own choices, the ancient roots of parenting in Ayurveda, and how to guide children towards practices and habits that will provide long term wellness and healing. As a mother of 5, Katie has seen it all and shares from her depth of wisdom and teachings as an Ayurvedic teacher, Yoga teacher and practitioner, and experienced mother. And the timing of this episode is perfect since Katie is offering a Black Friday special of 50% off all of her programs, including Ayurveda Goddess, Bhakti Club and the Yoga of Birth.
