Join Michelle, fellow parent, Mom of 3, and recovering yeller, in uncovering what we, as parents, need to parent peacefully, where we get stuck & why.
What if the parts of yourself you’ve struggled with the most are also your greatest strengths? In this episode, Michelle shares her daughter’s dyslexia diagnosis and how it reframed her understanding of ADHD, depression, and so-called “weaknesses” as powerful gifts. Through a lens of self-compassion and mindful parenting, she invites you to see both yourself and your child in a new, strength-based light.
Want to learn with Michelle:
Learning about attachment in my work as an Emotionally Focused Therapist, reading Dr. Laura Markham’s, Dr. Daniel Siegel’s books, and finding Hand in Hand parenting all solidified my commitment to parent peacefully.
There was just one problem. It felt impossible at times. When my kids were small, I was easily overwhelmed. Not only did I find it difficult to parent peacefully or playfully, but also I found myself in an awful yelling pattern.
I climbed my way out of parent burnout, depression, and anxiety using the tools I share here.
I help parents find their inner calm and balance so they can parent peacefully and with confidence.
