About this listen

In this episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I chat with my friend Alyssa—a school psychologist and mom of 2 school-aged kids—about the messy, beautiful reality of raising children who are self-aware and internally motivated when it comes to wellness.

Alyssa shares how she uses reflective parenting and emotional intelligence in both her work and her family life. From asking reflective questions that help kids identify their feelings, to modeling self-awareness herself, Alyssa offers practical tools for creating safe spaces, honoring children’s needs, and supporting them in making choices that feel right for them.


We also talk about the unique dynamics of bicultural family life, conflict resolution with compassion, and why teaching kids to trust their own inner wisdom is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.


This conversation is packed with insights for parents who want to raise kind, conscious kids while also deepening their own self-awareness along the way. 🌿
