    Corporal Punishment & Gentle Parenting

    In today's episode I talk about my distain for corporal punishment and how I go about using gentle/conscious parenting to raise my kids. I focus on a video that I saw which makes a joke out of abusing your kids for discipline and how this is harmful to the conscious parenting movement. Not to mention that these videos are seen as normal to thousands of parents who think monetizing your kids is safe and a "good thing." Join me every other week for more topics like this, and leave me a com...

    Kids Need a Village Too - The Importance of Friendships

    Welcome every one, new and returning! In today's episode I ruminate on my worries around the kind of village my children need in terms of meaningful friendships. Sparked by a conversation I had with a friend about playgroups, I realized that my soon to be school age son has no "real" friends yet, and that got me worried. What if he doesn't make friends in time? Why can't I work harder to create a village for myself filled with kids his age so he has more opportunities to make friends? Will he...

I am working on a bit of a brand re-design so stay tuned for that as we reach 30 EPISODES!!This week I have been reflecting on all the way I am feeling so so tired, from mental exhaustion, to physically not being able to stay awake in the middle of the day to carrying the mental load of being the CEO of this house.

    Welcome to the NICU

    A traumatic birth story with even more heartbreak to follow is the story I'm telling in this episode.

For those of you who have lived this experience, I am so sorry. We are not alone, it's such a growing experience but never one I would want someone to go through. Our time spent in the NICU is not talked about enough, so join me as I tell m...

    Identity in Motherhood: The Struggle is Real

    In today's episode I talk about how mothers and parents are pigeon holed into these groups and categories which dictate how we should live our lives. It can be really hard to break out of those molds to find true flexibility in our lives, but it is necessary so that we can be at peace with the one life we have to live. Being a parent is hard enough without the expectations society (and as a result we) put on ourselves, so it's time to break out of those outdated ways of living and ...
