Episode 17, Season 2: Parenting Around Grandparents - Boundaries & Finding Your Voice

Ever noticed how different things feel when the grandparents or in-laws are around?

The energy shifts, the dynamic is weird and suddenly you find yourself parenting differently - or worse, navigating unsolicited advice, comments, or comparisons. You may also notice yourself subconsciously falling back into old patterns of the child-like version of you.

In this episode, I’m talking all about how to stay grounded and confident in your parenting when grandparents or in-laws are present. We’ll explore how to:


🌿 Set healthy boundaries that protect your energy and your child’s needs
💬 Communicate clearly without guilt, conflict or awkwardness
🧘‍♀️ Stay calm when your parenting style is challenged
💛 Create mutual respect while still honouring your values and needs

Whether you’re managing overstepping boundaries, unhelpful comments, or just the overwhelm of too many opinions, this episode will help you find your voice - and bring more peace back into your family dynamics. A great one for new parents.
