  • My most recommended podcast!

    Hunter’s work was instrumental in my early parenting years. I found her course and meditation through this podcast, and then her book! I now have a tween and continue to benefit from her research and guests on the podcast. I am always sharing episodes with friends and family.

  • A breath of fresh air podcast

    I appreciate Hunter’s approach to both being a parent and parenting. I never thought of mindfulness as a parenting tool, but after having 4 kids with different personalities and responses to discipline, I needed to find something that would work for my family. This podcast helps to normalize emotions and assists with finding your path to being a mindful parent!
