Compassionate Heart Parenting
Compassionate Heart Parenting | Peaceful Parenting for Real Life
You love your kids deeply — and you still lose it sometimes. You're in the right place.
This podcast is for parents who are drawn to gentle parenting, peaceful parenting, conscious parenting, and Hand in Hand Parenting — but who also know how hard it can be to stay calm in the real, messy, overwhelming moments of family life.
Hi, I'm Michelle — mom of 3, recovering yeller, and Emotionally Focused Family Therapist. I've been through parent burnout, depression, and anxiety, and I climbed my way out using the very tools I share here. Now I help parents find their inner calm so they can show up the way they actually want to — with patience, connection, and confidence.
Each episode gives you:
- Practical tools to stop yelling and start connecting
- Relief from parenting shame, guilt, and the feeling you're failing
- Science-backed strategies rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion
- Ways to pause and respond rather than react in your hardest parenting moments
- Playful parenting ideas that strengthen your bond with your child
- The deep reminder that you are not alone — and you are a good parent
Topics covered include: Gentle parenting tools · conscious parenting · peaceful parenting · Hand in Hand Parenting · parenting with self-compassion · yelling and parenting shame · emotional regulation for parents · parenting burnout · mindful parenting · sibling conflict · setting loving limits · attachment parenting · parenting anxiety · Dr. Laura Markham · Dr. Daniel Siegel · connection before correction
This podcast is for you if:
- You want to parent gently but keep getting stuck
- You're exhausted from trying to hold it all together alone
- You want to strengthen your relationship with your child, not just manage their behavior
- You're ready to do the inner work that makes outer calm possible
