In this episode of the Living Aware Parenting Podcast, I'm celebrating Aletha Solter's 80th birthday with my dear friend and colleague, Nic Wilson, who is an Aware Parenting instructor and Marion Method Mentor.

We delve into Nic's journey with Aware Parenting and how it transformed her life from challenges with sleep and feeling exhausted to finding deep connection as well as sleep.

Nic shares moving stories, including pivotal moments that highlight the effects of Aware Parenting, not only on her relationship with her daughter, but on her overall perception of human relationships.

Join us as we discuss the profound changes and ongoing gifts of this compassionate approach to parenting.
