  • 16 - Conscious Parenting with Kristen Willis

    Ash and Jess interview Kristen Willis of Kristen Willis Sacred Medicine. Kristen brings a wise approach to parenting where it's equally as important to parent yourself as it is to parent your children. They discuss homeschooling, sending children to public school and ultimately honoring what is right for each family in the many different seasons of life. They offer a different perspective on how your parenting type might say a lot about your own needs and to use parenting as an opportunity to get to know each of your uniquely individual children. In today's parenting climate it's not easy, hopefully this episode reminds you that you are doing a great job and no one has it all figured out.


    You can find more information about Kristen Willis and her offerings on her website. And specifically about her MotherWell 1:1 Soul Immersion mentioned in this episode here at this link. You can also follow along on her Instagram @kristenwillissacredmedicine
