  • One of the only podcasts I still listen to

    I used to listen to so many podcasts, but I was getting so overwhelmed with information. Now this is one of the few I listen to weekly. (And the only one about parenting I listen to that consistently.) I love the guests Dajana has on her show and the insightful conversations she brings us. I can’t wait for more!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

78. The Voice You Use With Yourself Is Being Copied
Q: Can you walk us through how parents can reflect on their own legacies and what they want to pass on to their children?
The guest explains recognizing both the positive and negative legacies from parents, then choosing to cultivate personal purpose and model authentic self-compassion, so children inherit a framework for resilience instead of unspoken shame.
78. The Voice You Use With Yourself Is Being Copied
Q: Can you kick us off with a little bit about how you came to do this work and where your passion comes from?
The guest describes transitioning from teaching to mindfulness education after her daughter's meltdowns, discovering self-compassion as a framework that helped her parent more lovingly and effectively, and realizing that presence and embodiment are key to sustainable parenting.
67. The Anger Map: Charting Your Way Back to Calm When You've Lost Your Way
Q: Why is slower, smaller change more sustainable in somatic coaching?
In somatic coaching, slow and small changes are effective because they respect the body's need to consolidate learning and avoid re-traumatization. Building a solid foundation takes time, akin to carefully constructing a house; rushing can undermine stability, whereas gradual shifts create lasting, integrative change.
67. The Anger Map: Charting Your Way Back to Calm When You've Lost Your Way
Q: What is the Anger Map and how should a parent start using it?
The Anger Map is a stepwise framework designed to help parents identify and manage anger in the moment: first, awareness of the anger; then a nurturing approach to oneself; next, exploring the child's perspective; then moving to repair after the moment; and finally integrating and practicing regularly. Start by focusing on one letter at a time and using the printable guide to prompt reflection and small, actionable steps, with patience for gradual change.
72. Why You Keep Parenting Like Your Parents — Even When You Don't Want To
Q: How can a parent begin to work through their past without blaming their parents?
Start with curiosity about your upbringing, acknowledge the good and the hurt, and frame change as an evolution rather than a rejection of your family, allowing space for both gratitude and growth.
