Today I’m joined by Natalie Horseman — a storyteller, nurse, author, and founder of Horseman Publishing who brings creativity, emotion and experience to readers of all ages. Natalie writes adventurous and heart-centred children’s books — like The Bumpy Pumpkin and the Goat on the Go series — that spark imagination while weaving in important lessons about kindness, resilience, curiosity, and growing through life’s ups and downs.

Her work spans from playful stories for young readers to broader family resources and emotional support tools, and she does it all with a focus on clarity and empowerment — values that resonate deeply with the work we explore here at Parent Connect.

Today we’re talking about how stories help children make sense of big emotions, how parents can use narrative and language to foster emotional clarity, and why clarity matters more than rescue or over-explaining in both family relationships and co-parenting dynamics.
