Faith & Science, Side by Side (Trusting Your Intuition as a Parent) with Meaghan Hampton
Fresh Start Family ShowShow Notes
What happens when your intuition as a parent… starts to conflict with what you’ve been taught about faith?
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Wendy sits down with former student and turned Christian counselor and parenting educator Meaghan Hampton to explore the tension so many parents feel between faith, science, and their own inner knowing.
Meaghan shares her journey from overwhelmed young mom to licensed counselor, and how learning about child development, attachment, and the nervous system completely shifted the way she understood both parenting and her relationship with God.
Together, they unpack the harm that can come from fear-based parenting models, the misconceptions around “biblical discipline,” and how faith and science were never meant to compete, but to beautifully support one another.
They also talk about what it really looks like to trust your intuition again, especially if you were raised to ignore it, and how humility, repair, and relationship are the true foundations of both healthy parenting and authentic faith.
This episode is a breath of fresh air for any parent who has ever thought…“there has to be a better way.”
