Leslie has changed my parenting behavior and I am so very grateful. Once you understand & begin practicing her processes things become so clear. One of my biggest learnings is that our little ones are not here to hurt us & frustrate us. They are learning to deal with the world and situations in the best way they know how. I have learned to be more calm & "pause" before reacting. Love the podcast! Thank you Leslie!

Leslie’s methods create a peaceful and mindful person... not just parent and home. These skills translate to every relationship in life.
I can’t get enough of Leslie’s loving guidance.
Leslie’s work is so transformative, and encourages me to view myself and my children through a loving lense. There are no behavior “band-aids”, but moving into healing and kindness with practical tools. If you are looking for big shifts in your life and relationships with your children, you’ve come to the right place.
