The Aware Parenting Podcast

This is another episode of the reparenting and reculturing series, and is based on The Marion Method, NOT Aware Parenting. I talk about why many people find it hard to say yes to what they have a yes for and no to what they have a no for, having grown up in The Disconnected Domination Culture. I share why this is particularly the case at this time of year. And I offer tangible suggestions for expe...

I absolutely LOVE this episode with Linde Lambrechts, who has a Masters in Clinical Psychology, and is a Psychotherapist and Aware Parenting instructor. You may recognise her from my trilogy of Aware Parenting books, where she shared her beautiful stories. Linde talks about all kinds of topics in this episode, including reclaiming the beauty of our needs as parents. However, it's the stories she t...

In this episode, I talk about why our yeses and noes are so important, how we disconnect from them growing up in The Disconnected Domination Culture, and how we can reclaim their power and beauty, and the safety that they bring to our lives. I'd love to emphasise again that this is NOT Aware Parenting. This reparenting series is based on The Marion Method. Our yeses and noes are our slug wisdom. O...

I'd love to emphasise again that this is NOT Aware Parenting. This reparenting series is based on The Marion Method. I came up with the concept and practice of the three types of feelings by integrating two philosophies: Aware Parenting, which includes what I call needs-feelings and healing-feelings. Nonviolent Communication, which includes what I call needs-feelings and thoughts-feelings. I'll ex...

It really is possible to get free from guilt! I'd love to emphasise again that this is NOT Aware Parenting. This reparenting series is based on The Marion Method. I'm so grateful to Marshall Rosenberg, who created Nonviolent Communication. It was from him, back in 2002, when my daughter was 9 months old, that I learnt about the true origin of guilt, and how it is simply a form of cultural conditio...

I'm so delighted to be starting the reparenting series. I'd love to make it very clear that this is NOT Aware Parenting. It's The Marion Method. However, it was profoundly influenced by Aware Parenting, and in some ways is like practicing Aware Parenting with ourselves. Aware Parenting of course includes the importance of honouring our own needs, having community, and listening to our own feelings...

As this very long sleep series draws to a close, in this episode, I share some quick sleep suggestions for parents of a baby, toddler, child, or teen. Babies, children, and teens need to be both tired and relaxed to sleep restfully. Relaxation is created in two ways: ~ through a sense of safety (which is met by having closeness, especially in the early years), ~ and by releasing any pent-up painfu...
