Holy moly this conversation was incredible with the truly amazing LAEL STONE!!

This episode is a real conversation about re-parenting ourselves while raising our children. We explore how our own childhood, attachment experiences, and generational patterns quietly shape the way we show up as parents.

I am so excited to have Belinda from @belinda_marie_parenting with me on the podcast. Our conversation explores the emotional world underneath behaviour — in children and in ourselves. We talk about what it takes to stay present with big feelings, how unmet needs often sit beneath what we see, and why repair, support, and self-compassion matter so much in family life. A reminder that parenting is...

In this episode, we gently unpack how childbirth reshapes intimacy, not just in our bodies, but in our nervous systems and relationships.

This is a conversation about postpartum intimacy that moves beyond “get...

In this episode, we talk about the real work of parenting — not the highlight reel. We explore what it really means to keep the baby in mind , why play and connection can feel surprisingly hard, and how slowing down often goes against everything modern parenting demands of us.

I share how we support Syd through these moments, and how you can come up with yo...
