#036_Mindfulness, Emotional Health & Raising Resilient Children_A Meaningful Conversation with Sally de Gruchy

Sylvia Mather, Sally de Gruchy

In today’s episode, I sit down with the beautiful Sally de Gruchy @dailypracticess to explore the magic of mindful parenting, emotional wellbeing and the practices that help both children and adults thrive.

Sally is a mindfulness educator, EFT practitioner, author of 'A Rabbit’s Tail’ and ‘Zen like a Zebra' and a mum to two beautiful girls, whose lived experience and gentle presence bring so much light into the world.

We dive into what it means to raise emotionally secure children, how to navigate dysregulation in both kids and adults and what personal healing looks like in today’s world.

In this episode we explore:

✨ Hypo vs. hyper-arousal in children and how to help them return to calm
✨ The “green zone” & why regulation matters for both kids and adults
✨ Why 'repair after rupture' is foundational for secure attachment
✨ Emotion-coaching & why being present 30% of the time is enough
✨ Conscious parenting and breaking generational patterns
✨ The power of vulnerability, honesty & showing your full emotional range
✨ Sally’s journey through separation and healing (ongoing)
✨ Circle of Security & understanding your own triggers
✨ The story behind 'A Rabbit’s Tail' and how her books reflect her own healing
✨ EFT tapping, mindfulness and bottom-up nervous system healing
✨ Finding your soul’s calling & navigating the shift into aligned work

Sally works across all ages, from toddlers to teens to adults to the elderly and her passion for emotional wellbeing is truly inspiring. She embodies her mission of helping people flourish, regulate and reconnect with themselves.
