Parenting is often lived in the extremes. It’s either great joy or chaotic overwhelm. One moment you’re nailing it and the next you’re losing your cool. I want to help you find your way to the messy middle, to a place of balance. You see, balance is a verb, not a state of being. It is a thing you DO, not a thing you ARE. It’s an action, a process, a series of micro-corrections that we make, each and every day, to keep ourselves feeling centered. We are never truly balanced, we are engaged in the process of balancing.Hello, I’m Dr. Laura Froyen, and this is the Balancing Parenting Podcast, where overwhelmed, stressed-out, and disconnected parents go to find tools, mindset shifts, and practices to help them stop yelling at the people they love and start connecting all delivered with heaping doses of grace and compassion. Join me in conversations that will help you get clear on your goals and values and start showing up in your parenting, your relationships, YOUR LIFE, with open-hearted authenticity and balance.

Customer Reviews
Amazing Resource
Sometimes parenting resources make us feel worse about ourselves as parents, but NOT THIS ONE. Lots of practical tools that have allowed me to connect with both my nuerodiverse child and my neurotypical child in ways we all feel good about.
Compassionate guidance from a parent and therapist who gets it!
Dr. Froyen understands how parenting stretches and challenges us, while helping us see how much harder the challenging moments are for our kids. I especially appreciated the recent episode on sharing emotional labor with our partners.
Amazing podcast!
This podcast is an amazing resource for parents everywhere! Dr. Laura is a truly engaging host and each of her conversations with guests informs and empowers.
