Have you ever felt lost in the whirlwind of motherhood, trying to balance your identity amidst the chaos of raising children? Carli Saber, a holistic parent consultant, joins us to share her transformative journey. From her days as a Montessori teacher to embracing alternative therapies like Psyche K, Carli offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of parenting. Together, we explore how personal perceptions shape our interactions with children and parallel societal events like elections, urging mothers to redefine their parenting style and reclaim their sense of self.

Navigating the path to independence for your child is complex, and Carli sheds light on this delicate journey. We talk about the pressures parents face to push their children towards milestones, like summer camp, and the potential fallout from rushing this natural progression. Carli's personal stories and experiences emphasize the multifaceted nature of independence, advocating for trust in each child's unique timeline. By supporting their readiness and allowing them to explore self-reliance at their own pace, children can develop a strong sense of themselves without feeling inadequate.

We also highlight the critical role of self-care for mothers, underscoring how their well-being can positively impact the entire family. Through joyful rituals and addressing personal anxieties, we remind listeners that small moments of self-care are crucial for fostering a nurturing and balanced family environment.
