As we close out 2025, I wanted to offer something different - not goals, not resolutions, not another list of things to fix - but a vision.

In this final episode of the year, I want to share my vision for you as a parent and as a person. A vision rooted in healing, awareness, and the belief that meaningful change happens in small, gentle, everyday moments.

We talk about what it looks like to release inherited parenting patterns, create deep felt safety for your children, trust yourself more fully, parent with confidence and clarity, access calm and regulation more often, and set boundaries that feel peaceful instead of heavy. We explore how parenting doesn’t just shape our kids - it shapes us - and how this journey becomes part of our own healing over time.

This episode is reflective, grounding, and hopeful. It’s an invitation to pause, to notice how far you’ve already come, and to carry a softer, steadier vision of parenting into the new year.

Thank you for being part of The Parenting Lab this year. I’m so grateful for this community - and I can’t wait for what we’re building together in 2026.

As we near the end of 2025, I've been spending some time reflecting on how far I've come in my parenting, so...

In today’s episode, I’m sharing three quotes that genuinely changed the way I parent. Not in a dramatic, overnight way... more like those quiet little truths that settle in, speak to something real inside you, and slowly shift how you show up.

We talk about:

• Why gentleness is actually a form of strength, and how pairing peace with strength creates the kind of presence our kids trust.

• Why kids listen so much better after they feel listened to, and how this one shift can dissolve half the power struggles in your home.

• Why healing is an inside job, and why we can’t read, learn, or podcast our way out of the deeper work only we can do.

This episode is honest, reflective, and full of the real-life moments behind these ideas - the places I got stuck, the things I didn’t know I needed, and the ways these quotes rearranged me as both a parent and a person.

If you’ve been craving a little clarity, or just a reminder that growth is slow and beautiful and absolutely possible, I think this one will feel good!

🎄🕎✨In Part Two of How to Holiday, we move beyond boundaries and expectations and step into the heart of the holiday season: meaning.

Together, we explore how rituals and traditions help anchor our kids, regulate our nervous systems, and bring us back to what actually matters. Instead of chasing “magic,” we talk about creating moments that feel aligned, sustainable, and emotionally true for your family - not anyone else’s.

You’ll learn how to identify what’s meaningful, what’s draining, what’s worth repeating, and what can gently fall away. We’ll talk about intentional traditions, the quiet power of rituals, the difference between doing less and doing with purpose, and how to navigate the holidays when the season feels heavy or tender.

This episode is an invitation to build holidays that feel grounded, human, connected, and deeply...yours.

If you’re craving a calmer, more present, more aligned holiday season… this one’s for you!

However you celebrate this time of year, I wish you peace, joy, and connection with the ones you love the most.
