MELISSA AMBROSINI
About this episode

When it comes to parenting, there is a LOT of noise out there. From feeding, to sleeping, to screen time, it seems like *everybody* has an opinion… It can feel very overwhelming at times.

But what if we could quieten all that noise and tune into our own inner knowing as a parent? 

What if we could embrace a more natural, intuitive style of parenting — one that was based in gentleness, joy and connection?

And what if we quit trying to be a “good parent” based on other people’s standards, and instead, became the conscious, evolved parent that our children need us to be?

To help us learn more, I’m joined by Tracy Gillett — a writer, parenting advocate, and founder of the award-winning blog, Raised Good. Tracy is a world-renowned teacher of ‘the lost art of natural parenting’. This beautiful, life-changing model of raising kids can revolutionise your experience of motherhood and help you raise happy, well-adjusted children. And in this inspiring episode, she’s walking us through exactly how to do it.

Tune in to hear the best way to cultivate your intuition as a mother, why gentle parenting does NOT mean having no boundaries, how your parenting choices impact your child’s lifelong development, genius techniques for eliminating ‘mama guilt’ from your life, plus 5 natural parenting secrets that make kids want to cooperate WITHOUT using time-outs, threats or punishment.
