In this week’s episode, I sit down with Afshan Tafler, who is a holistic Life Coach, Conscious Parenting Coach and IFS Practitioner.

 

Afshan helps you master emotional stress so you can transform your health and thrive in your relationship with your kids. She has become a sought-after wellness and parenting expert, and has been featured on leading Parenting summits such as Mindful World Parenting, Great Parenting Show, Embodiment Conference, Raising Your Strong Willed Child, and more.  

 

Afshan is also a mom to a special needs and strong willed child, and is passionate about coaching parents with sensitive and spirited children to thrive in their relationships.

 

Listen in as we talk about:

  • About reactive anger - when quick responses happen in the body - and how to not go there every time
  • How your child’s nervous system and temperament is influenced by yours
  • How to recognize when you’re not calm
  • Identifying the state of your nervous system
  • How to repattern the nervous system so that you can transform anger to calm
