Dec 19 2023 29 mins

Like most things in the modern age, we're sold the idea that it's easy to simplify. But simplifying is a lifelong process. It takes time and consistent effort to realize what is and is not important to you. This podcast digs into why simplifying isn't simple in the age of excess, and how to work toward simplification as a process. Leaning into your authenticity is a

034 - Growing Ourselves Up

Dec 12 2023 31 mins

When we become parents, or even as we make our way in the world, it becomes clear that we are all still learning. This reality might not match the inner voices we have telling us we should have things figured out by now, be better at something, or in general get it together in some sort of 'grown up' way. This episode is about bringing self-compassion to our own inner par

033 - Unschooling our Mindset (even if your children are in school)

Dec 07 2023 32 mins

Homeschooling is not a viable option for everyone. Many parents want something different for their children, but are still participating in the school system. The system itself is not interested in changing (there will remain curriculums, teachers, tests, compliance, performative tasks, etc.) even though change is necessary. This podcast is about exploring what transition looks lik

032 - Choosing Curiosity Over Control

Nov 28 2023 32 mins

Many of our cultural patterns and socialization have been established though the use of control. As a result, we as parents, need to rewire our brains to look at situations with curiosity rather than defaulting to tactics of control. This applies to the way we treat ourselves as much as how we treat our children. Until we can re-pattern our brains to view situations without the und

031 - How to Build Resilience in Children (and yourself)

Nov 21 2023 32 mins

We often expect children to be resilient without teaching them how.

Making the decision to change something and creating the habit of change are two different things. In this episode, Julie Walter digs deeper into how to create the situation where sustainable change is possible.

029 - Parenting to Perfection: Avoiding Shame by Embracing Self-Compassion

Nov 07 2023 34 mins

No one is the perfect parent. Why do we expect ourselves to be? This episode explores how we can parent with more self-compassion. We must recognize our humanity in our parenting and grow our self-compassion so that we can also grow compassion for our children.Self-compassion keeps us out of states of shame and blame and allows us to hold ourselves softly as we create the vision of

028 - Cultivating Belonging: Sustainable Community Building

Oct 31 2023 35 mins

A huge part of our human need is to feel a sense of belonging within community. The current models of community, particularly those in schools, do not cultivate belonging, they encourage 'fitting in.' When we forego authenticity in order to 'fit in' we are actually abandoning a true and rooted sense of belonging. " Fitting in is about assessing a situation

027 - Connection to Our Children and Ourselves

May 24 2022 35 mins

In gentle parenting, we often hear how important it is to connect with our children. In this episode, I look at how we can show up for this in an authentic way. Connection isn't the healing balm for everything in parenting...although it is a key ingredient. We also don't need to be afraid to set and hold boundaries, this is actually part of connection too! This is connect

026 - No One Right Way to Educate a Child

Apr 12 2022 33 mins

We have been educated to think there is one right way to educate children. Having come through the mainstream education system, the educational root is for us to choose the right curriculum and walk a child through it from start to finish to garner the desired result - an educated child. In this podcast, I look at how this ideology centres the curriculum and not the child. I also l
