In the Living Aware Parenting Podcast, I share about Aware Parenting by Aletha Solter, PhD, to support parents to understand the philosophy, practices, and embodiment of this groundbreaking and life-changing approach.

In this episode, I share about my journey as a level two Aware Parenting instructor, and the regional coordinator for Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia.

I talk about the importance of empathy and compassion for both children and parents, and how I emphasise compassion for parents in my mentoring and teaching.
