***Re-release of the most popular episode of We Gotta Talk ever!***

If you're a mom who's been awake with your child after midnight, mindlessly scrolling IG (read: EVERY MOM), you have no doubt read the incredible, amazing, searingly-beautiful words of today’s podcast guest.

Her quotes go viral, get pinned thousands upon thousands of times, but most importantly, her tips and tactics on parenting can really, truly change the way you approach raising your own tiny humans.

L.R. Knost is a best-selling author whose work and writings on gentle parenting have impacted countless parents, inspiring them to become more connected to parenting from a calmer, more encouraging and uplifting place. Her series of books (linked below) help parents to deal with the sometimes-big emotions of little kids in simple ways. L.R. is a mother of six, an activist, a wife and a self-proclaimed social justice warrior.


She shares with me some incredible stories on her motherhood journey, her career, and so much more. Here’s just some of what we cover:

+ What is gentle parenting?

+ What she learned from being a your mom

+ Her amazing term for raising kids — “co-humaning”

+ Tactics for tantrums

+ Kids on social media

+ Why she doesn’t believe in time outs anymore

+ Her thoughts on sleep training

+ Her cancer battle and where her health stands now


I cannot, CANNOT thank L.R. enough for allowing me to speak with her about her amazing work. I took so much from this conversation, and I know you will too.
