In our conversation, we explore her book, delve into the genesis of low-demand parenting, and discuss navigating new parenting styles with our partners. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of embracing radical acceptance in parenting.

Love all of Shaolin’s work, like her show ‘Home in Hawaii’ and all her design work. I can’t wait to hear this podcast! It sounds like it will be so interesting and we will get to know Shaolin outside of the design world!
