Show Notes

Ever wonder why other parents seem so ”chill”? Meanwhile, you feel like you’re a volcano ready to explode at any moment?

In today’s episode, psychotherapist and author, Katie McKenna, walks us through her CALM parenting method. This is not your ordinary parenting advice that just tells you to do better - it actually takes into account where you, as the parent, are coming from.

Today’s episode discusses things like:

How fear plays a role in our parenting How to set limits & boundaries with your children How to re-train your nervous system Letting go of the shame in parenting How our own upbringing and emotional trauma affect our parenting (and what to do about it)

I hope you find something helpful, hopeful or encouraging in today’s episode. Thanks for being here!
