Lael Stone is a TEDx talk speaker, educator, and author on a mission to create wellness in families through education, connection and communication. 
If you were to ask Lael what it is that she does, she could sum it up in a sentence; “I speak for the heart of the child.”
Whether it is supporting parents to understand their children, helping adults process their own childhood trauma, or creating education systems that value emotional awareness – it all comes back to connection and compassion.
She began working in childbirth education and postnatal care in 2004 – working with couples through pregnancy, birth and the first few years of parenting as a Doula, Calmbirth® Practitioner and Postnatal trauma Counsellor. Working in this field certainly showed her the importance of connection and trust. From a woman trusting her baby and birthing body to learning all about how to parent with presence and awareness.
However, her children have facilitated her greatest learning and self-discovery. From challenging and unexpected birth experiences to navigating fears and traumas, to holding on tight through the teen years, they continue to show her what is possible when you are free to be the true essence of yourself.
In this episode, Lael and I have an honest conversation about what it means to be an aware parent and how to deeply connect with our children. 
We also discuss:
Her journey to being an educator and working with families. What creating wellness in families looks like. The importance of being mindful, empathetic and compassionate with our children.  Ways we can help and support our children to thrive emotionally. Her amazing TEDx talk: How to Raise Emotionally Intelligent Children.  What it means to hold space for our children's wellbeing. Resources mentioned in this episode:
