Are traditional parenting strategies leaving you frustrated? In this episode, I sit down with Erica, a relationship coach, adoptive mom, and one of the first graduates of the Peace and Parenting Certification Program. Erica shares how shifting from consequences to connection has transformed her family and her coaching practice.

Throughout our conversation, we dive into the challenges of unlearning traditional discipline methods, the importance of play in fostering attachment, and how this approach is particularly impactful for adoptive families. Erica opens up about the struggles and breakthroughs in her parenting journey—how moving away from punishments led to stronger bonds, and how her husband’s relationship with their children has flourished through simple but powerful shifts in connection.

If you’ve ever doubted whether prioritizing connection over control can truly work, this episode will inspire you. You’ll hear real-life experiences, tangible takeaways, and insights from our certification program that could change the way you parent.
