About The Empowered Parenting Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to The Empowered Parent Podcast where we explore ideas about how you can raise empowered, self-assured, confident human beings and empower yourself as a person and a parent in the process.…
There’s no handbook when it comes to parenting. No-one tells you how to craft your mission as a parent or how to raise confident, self-assured children or how to feel like you’re doing a good enough job as their parent. My aim is that this podcast becomes your handbook. A place where you can come and listen to stories and ideas in a calm, non-judgemental, open minded space.
