A yoga instructor, educator, maternal mental health advocate, and author of The Yoga of Parenting, Sarah brings mindfulness and realism to the often chaotic world of raising kids. In this episode, Kara and Sarah dive into the emotional rollercoaster of parenthood, the pressure to “do it all,” and why building your own village is more essential than ever. You’ll hear how Sarah blends yoga principles into parenting, what it means to maintain your identity as a parent, and why support systems in the U.S. are failing families. This conversation covers parenting as a spectrum, practical self-care, and how to stay grounded even when life gets messy.
