Authentic Parenting

Welcome to Authentic Parenting-a top rated podcast on personal development in the context of parenting where our collective mission is to break the toxic cycle of generational trauma through connecting to our authentic self, practicing radical self-care and living wholeheartedly. 

As we raise our children, we grow ourselves.

For the past 7 years I have interviewed some the world's leading experts, thought-leaders and best-selling authors in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, trauma, mindfulness and wellness. Learn from their wisdom by following the podcast! 

 

Let's raise children who won't have to recover from their childhoods.
