Welcome to the Mindful Motherhood Blog!

We were about 6 weeks into the pandemic and I was starting to lose my mind and find my groove at the same time. One night, I was talking to friend on the phone who was almost in tears over tiring toddler struggles. I instantly became FIRED UP.

 I thought, “How do we expect parents who do not study child development to confidently do their MOST important job-PARENTING.” Yes, a lot is common sense, intuition. But a whole lot of it is science based, changes each decade, and sometimes, counter intuitive. 

With my heart full of fury, I got the idea to take my passion online, not knowing what I was doing or where I was going with it. My one goal: If I can be vulnerable and show up for parents in this space that is INSIGHTFUL, HELPFUL AND BUILDS CONNECTIONS…I AM 1000% HERE FOR YOU. 

As a former educator, I knew there was a better way to teach and parent that didn’t involve bribes, threats and punishments. I knew this because of the ample research and understanding of how children’s brains work. When my oldest son was a baby, he attended a RIE based childcare program that uses the Respectful Parenting approach to raising children. I WAS HOOKED. For the next 5 years, I dedicated my resources and time to understanding and practicing Respectful parenting, taking what I loved and leaving some things behind. Mindful Motherhood Blog was created for you to become an intentional parent, not a perfect one.
