Episode 12: Creating Connection & Harmony at Home and at School
Are you a parent, teacher and/or educator seeking to create more connection and harmony in your home or school?
In this week’s episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Lael Stone.
Lael is an author, speaker (she has an amazing TEDx talk that recently hit over 1 million views), educator, she is also the co-founder/co-creator of Woodline Primary in Victoria, Australia, and she is the co-host of The Aware Parenting Podcast.
In this beautiful, empowering and inspiring conversation we discuss how as parents and educators there are times we can rupture the relationship between us and our children and students. Lael beautifully shares her knowledge and experience on how we can repair these ruptures with connection, honesty, authenticity and responsibility. Which also models to our children and the children in our care, how to repair any ruptures in their own relationships in a healthy, supportive and truthful way.
As with all of the precious episodes, we also have a meaningful conversation about the need for us as parents and educators to turn inward, do the inner work, take responsibility for our own feelings, as well as getting curious about our own behaviours with self-compassion.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, and I hope you get what you need to out of all the wisdom and knowledge shared.

Are you struggling on your own as a Mother?
In this new episode, I have a beautiful and powerful conversation with Danni Willow. She is a Parent Educator, Aware Parenting Instructor, Early Childhood Educator, Primary School Teacher, holder of sacred space for Mother and women circles and Mumma to two beautiful souls.
We share our personal stories about the times we have been left alone to parent our children, whether that be for long periods of time, or during “working hours.” We discuss how nuclear families have made it so challenging to parent, and there is no wisdom flowing from previous generations.
We answer the questions “Where is the village?” And then chat about ways we can create villages within our own communities, which can help us flourish and thrive and Mothers and parents.
There is so much inspiration and authenticity, and to all the Mamas reading this and listening to this episode “You are not alone, and you are always enough.”
