In this episode, we sit down with the amazing Nina from Mindful Parenting Lifestyle.

Nina is a mindful parenting coach and a mum who knows firsthand what it feels like to be overwhelmed, reactive, and weighed down by guilt.

In Episode 13 of Season 1, we caught up with Nina to talk about mindful parenting for adults—how slowing down, rebuilding connection, and approaching parenting with greater compassion can make such a difference, both for our kids and for ourselves.

Now, we’re turning the tables and exploring mindfulness in children. 🌱

How can we support our kids to develop mindfulness? What does it actually look like in everyday life? And how can we help children navigate big emotions with greater awareness and calm?

 Tune in as we explore practical ways to nurture mindfulness in our children—and create more connection along the way.

In this episode, Zana and Pamela explore the complex world of children's technology use, sharing personal stories, insights on managing screen time, and the importance of setting boundaries. They discuss the influence of social media, gaming, co-parenting challenges, and how to foster healthy digital habits in children.

In this episode, we're having a very real conversation about something so many parents are feeling...but not always talking about: Parental Burnout.

From losing motivation for things we once loved, to feeling constantly overstimulated, emotionally exhausted, and stuck in survival mode - this episode dives into the reality of trying to juggle careers, kids, relationships and the invisible mental load of motherhood.

This isn't an episode about having all the answers. It's an honest conversation for the parents who feel like they're running on empty while still showing up every single day.

Because sometimes life looks less like thriving...and more like just surviving.

Quick heads up — this episode is a real and unfiltered conversation. That means there may be some swearing along the way. If you’ve got little ones around, you might want to pop in some headphones.
