The Wild Child Parent Coach

What happens when you feel like your relationship with your child is broken beyond repair? When you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and convinced your kids would be better off with someone else?

In this episode, Sal shares her incredible journey from that rock-bottom place to building a safe, loving home where her daughter now asks her to read stories again. It’s raw, honest, and full of hope — showing just how much can change when you take the first step toward healing yourself and reconnecting with your child.

This conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

Ever feel like your child’s behaviour is a puzzle you’ll never solve? In this episode, we’re flipping the script on common parenting myths — from entitlement, anger, and defiance — and showing you that behaviour is not the enemy, it’s a symptom.

Join me as we explore:

By the end, you’ll see your child in a whole new light, and learn how to respond in ways that actually help. Behaviour isn’t the problem — it’s the message.

I recorded this episode a while back… but as we enter the summer holidays, it feels like the perfect time to open up the conversation around capacity — what it is, why it matters, and how it quietly shapes everything in our parenting.

Over and over, I hear the same thing from parents: “I don’t need more advice. I need to be able to actually do the things I already know.”

This episode is an honest, empowering invitation to move away from parenting on push, force, or fumes — and toward something more sustainable. I walk you through a framework that helps you gently check in, reset, and reconnect with your energy in a way that’s deeply human. Yes, even on the days when there’s absolutely nothing left in the tank.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, this conversation is here to hold you — not to fix you.

What do you do when your child flat-out refuses something you know they’d love — like football club? When you’ve tried the gentle encouragement, the empathy, the patience… and it still feels like you’re going nowhere?

In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story - of post-COVID shutdowns, family upheaval, and a once-confident child who wouldn’t leave the house. I’ll walk you through the messy middle of playing the long game: the meltdowns, the slow rebuild, and the quiet but powerful moment when he finally said yes — on his own terms.

We’ll talk about how to respond to refusal without shame. How to honour your child’s gut instinct without giving up on growth. And how to stay rooted in your values — even when progress looks like a wobble.

If you’re navigating resistance, anxiety, or big feelings in your child right now, this one’s for you. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re doing it the slow, sacred way.

What Is Real Connection — And Why It Changes Everything

In this episode, we’re getting right to the heart of what parenting is really about: connection.

We’ll explore:

• What connection truly looks like (beyond quality time or praise)

• How to tell when it's off — and why that matters

• How your own reactions might be unintentionally escalating your child’s big feelings

• What your child actually needs in those stormy moments to feel safe and secure

Whether you're navigating tantrums, shutdowns, or everyday resistance, this conversation will help you shift from reactivity to real, lasting connection.

I’m also sharing my brand-new offer — The Calm & Connected Reset — a 7-day challenge to help you go from conflict to connection and restore more balance in your home.

If you’ve ever lost it with your kid… this episode is for you.

This podcast is a space for the good, the bad, and yes, the ugly. And today’s episode? It’s all kinds of ugly!

A few months ago, I found myself in a full-blown stand-off at the side of the bathtub. Ouch. Unexpected, brutal and humbling.

Come and hear the build-up, the blowout, and the repair… and how even these moments can become powerful opportunities for growth, connection, and healing for both you and your child.

Starting school is a big milestone — for kids and parents.
In this episode, we’re diving into the emotional side of it all: the wobbles, the clinginess, the tears at drop-off (yours or theirs), and how to gently support your child through this transition.

You’ll get clear, step-by-step guidance on how to:
🧠 Understand what’s really going on in your child’s nervous system
💬 Talk about school in a way that feels safe and grounding
🤍 Support those big feelings without over-prepping or overexplaining
🎒 Create calm, connected routines that help your child feel secure

Whether you're a parent navigating this for the first time, or a school wanting to offer extra support to new P1 families, this episode is full of practical advice, connection-first strategies, and a whole lot of reassurance.

And while we’re talking about starting school, the tools in this episode can support any big change - new clubs, new teachers, new siblings, even holidays or family events.

Because this isn’t just about school readiness... It’s about emotional readiness.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to parent from the heart. Not from fear, overwhelm, or the long list of “shoulds” you’ve picked up along the way... but from that internal voice that KNOWS what your child needs from you in that moment.

So often, we look outside ourselves for the right answers - books, blogs, experts. But the truth is: your intuition is the most powerful tool you have.

This isn’t something you have to go find.
It’s something you’ve always had…
You may have just lost touch with it along the way.

When you learn to tune in to what your child actually needs (and trust what you know deep down), life gets lighter. Parenting gets clearer.

Less second-guessing.
More connection.
Less reacting.
More responding.

This episode is your permission slip to stop striving and start listening - to yourself, to your child, and to the wisdom in the quiet moments.

Welcome to The Wild Child Parent Coach Podcast!

In this very first episode, I’m keeping things raw and real — no scripts, no edits, just me sitting down to tell you where this podcast came from and why it matters.

If you’re raising a sensitive, spirited, or strong-willed child and often find yourself wondering, “Why isn’t this working?” — you’re not alone, and this podcast is for you.

I share a bit about my background, what I’ve learned over 18 years working with children and families, and the heart behind this space. This isn’t about fixing kids — it’s about understanding them. And more importantly, understanding yourself as a parent.

Each episode will be like a conversation — unfiltered, practical, and rooted in connection. Let’s walk this path together.
