In the Living Aware Parenting Podcast, I share about Aware Parenting by Aletha Solter, PhD, to support parents to understand the philosophy, practices, and embodiment of this groundbreaking and life-changing approach.

In this episode of the Living Aware Parenting Podcast, I share my journey with Aware Parenting, which started in 2001, when I was pregnant with my first daughter.

I talk about my learning curves, and aha moments, and the elements I wish I'd understood. I share about my experiences as a mother, Aware Parenting instructor, mentor, and teacher of Aware Parenting instructors.

I also touch on my future plans.

Thank you for joining me on this voyage of discovery!
