Your Calm Parenting Path
Welcome to Your Calm Parenting Path—guiding you toward a more peaceful, connected, and confident approach to parenting.
Motherhood wasn’t supposed to feel this hard. If you’re tired of yelling, overwhelmed by the mental load, and wondering why you can’t just enjoy time with your kids like other mums seem to, you’re not alone. You love your children fiercely, but somewhere between school drop-offs, tantrums, and endless to-do lists, you’ve lost a piece of yourself.
I’m Nina, a mindful parenting coach and mum who gets it. I’ve been where you are—stuck, frustrated, and exhausted by constant feelings of inadequacy and overwhelm.
This podcast is for mums like you—women who want to parent with more patience, less stress, and a whole lot more joy. It’s about making small shifts that create a big impact, helping you build the parenting life you’ve always wanted.
In short, practical episodes, you'll discover actionable tips for calmer parenting, expert insights from those who work with children, real stories from parents who've made meaningful changes, and inspiration to reconnect with yourself while showing up as the mum you want to be.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by daily struggles or simply looking for a more mindful approach, each episode offers practical tools and insights to help you feel calmer, more confident, and more connected with your children.
