I always feel better after listening to this podcast. It has really given me a lot of confidence as a new parent to trust my baby and allow him to express himself. So much gratitude to Marion and Lael for bringing this information to the world!

This podcast was the catalyst for my parenting transformation

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for how this podcast has been the catalyst for transforming my parenting. Marion and Lael have a way of speaking Truth in such a way that it just begins to permeate the guilt and stories we tell ourselves as parents. I recommend this podcast to EVERY mother I know!

Being a better parent

I’ve started to put my Bluetooth earpiece in and try some guided meditations while my children are testing me. Then I thought, I should find a podcast that may assist me with my parenting challenges! I’m so glad this one came up at the beginning of my search. There are only a handful of episodes but they are strong and have touched on issues I think about all the time. Thank you for making this.

Delightful and Essential!

Homeschooling mom of four here. I wish I had known about Aware Parenting from Day 1 of my parenthood journey but as it is, I discovered it at the time of my third child’s birth and I cannot say enough about how wonderful Aware Parenting is for children, parents, and the family unit altogether. We are doing lots of sort of repair work with our older children for the unfortunate hurst they accumulated from it lack of parenting tools in their early years! It’s quite fascinating to see how different our younger two children are who have benefited from Aware Parenting from the get-go. Marion and Lael have such a beautiful podcast here. The topics are classic, relevant parenting issues we all face, and they offer such thorough, helpful, compassionate information to approach these topics in the Aware Parenting paradigm. They are delightful and easy to listen to; it feels like listening advice from the supportive mom you always wish you had. 💜🥰

Essential listening for any parent

I love this podcast! Lael and Marion deliver decades of birth and parenting wisdom in a compassionate, non-judgemental, and relatable way. They approach a range of common challenges that parents are facing in this modern era, and with the application of the Aware Parenting paradigm, help parents with useful, practical, loving tools to both ease and overcome these. Thank you ❤️
