In this episode I share about how this journey in responsive parenting isn’t linear. And what it feels like when we take 2 steps back. I talk about what happens when we parent from fear and how we can compassionately bring ourselves back to the path we have chosen to walk on.  I talk about how to shift your mentality and give yourself grace as you grow into the parent you desire to be.  FREE GUIDE!
