KATE KRIPKE: On Parenting in a Mental He...

Alison Rothman
About this episode

You may recognize this beautiful face and voice from a previous episode. I invited Kate Kripke back onto the podcast to dive even deeper into some crucial subjects as the evolution of these wild times continues. I have infinite respect and admiration for Kate and her work in the world and value our connection immensely.  

Kate shares immense wisdom in the realm of mothering, mental health, nervous system regulation, how to feel our feelings, the root causes of depression and anxiety, and much more. Our work is so complimentary and I am grateful to bring her voice back onto the podcast again and in the future as well.

We hope this impromptu and fluid conversation provides some value to all who are navigating being a human and a mother during these days of upheaval.
