S06|18 - Gentle Parenting and Weight-los...

Crystal the Parenting Coach
About this episode

What do gentle parenting and permanent weight loss have to do with each other? More than you’d think! Weight-loss is the by-product of self-love and true discipline (not what you might think discipline is). Through this process of simplifying, listening to my body more, learning and loving my body more… I’ve lost weight SO much easier and simpler than before, in a sustainable and permanent way. Dropping diet culture, shame, and the focus on “skinny” and leaning into LOVE, connection and relationship with ME. My friend Laura Conley joins us for this conversation and shares her story and insights with us. 

Laura Conley is a Certified Life + Weight Loss Coach. Laura helps mamas who have been painfully struggling with diet drama (who have tried EVERYTHING) to lose weight for the last time and free themselves from food forever. She is on a maniacal mission to do this so that her clients can pass down a beautiful legacy to their children around food and bodies, weigh what they want, and live the life they have always dreamed of without the weight in the way. She does this through coaching her clients on how to balance their hunger hormones, rewire their brains, handle emotions, accountability and becoming their own bestie.

What we talk about: 

  • what the diet culture/industry has wrong
  • why beating yourself up doesn’t actually work
  • teaching our own kids to love their own body’s and accept themselves
  • the role of acceptance, love and discipline in both parenting and weight loss
