Setting limits is one of the trickiest parts of parenting - but it’s also one of the most important. When we hold boundaries with love and clarity, we show our children that their feelings are okay and their world is safe. This episode will help you shift from control to connection, and from reactivity to calm, confident guidance.

Parenting a child with ADHD can feel relentless - like no matter what you try, it’s never enough.   But understanding your own emotional patterns is the key to breaking out of reactive cycles and creating a calmer home.   This episode offers hope, understanding, and practical strategies for any parent feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to support their child.

And today? We’re talking about mornings. Because let’s be honest - mornings with kids can feel like a marathon before the day has even started. The rushing, the resistance, the last-minute water bottle hunt… oh my god it’s exhausting! But what if we could approach mornings differently? What if we could bring in more calm, connection, and cooperation - without having to nag, bribe, or lose our patience?

When they feel disconnected, their instinct isn’t to cooperate - it’s to push back. And that’s not because they’re being difficult. It’s because their little brains are wired to seek connection before anything else.

This episode is all about the one mindful habit that changes everything: pausing. But this isn’t just about stopping before you yell—this is about changing how you see parenting altogether.

Because pausing isn’t just about stopping ourselves from yelling—it’s about shifting our entire perspective on parenting. And to do that, we’re going to explore three key mindfulness concepts....

Ever found yourself yelling even though you promised you wouldn’t? You’re not alone - and this episode might just be the shift you need.

In this first episode of Your Calm Parenting Path, I’m sharing my personal story of parenting burnout, the breaking point that changed everything, and how a simple mindfulness practice helped me start showing up with more patience, presence, and connection.
