In this episode, I speak to Emily Hughs a Conscious Parent Coach, Breathwork and Somatic Therapist, Ex Secondary School teacher and Mum of 2. She coaches parents (with children of all ages) to let go of what's not serving them so they can rise into inner trust and handle any parenting situation with calm sturdy confidence. Parenting can be triggering, really triggering and Emily helps parents to lean into those triggers as opportunities to learn more about ourselves. Emily works 1:1, with co-parents and with groups to help parents get intentional and consciously aware in their parenting. She uses a parent-centric, body based approach to identify the limiting beliefs, patterns, mindset and conditioning that are keeping parents stuck.

Emily and I discuss Anger in all of its forms, from postnatal rage to toddler temper tantrums and she shares her advice on how to start working on regulating these BIG emotions.
