Pep Talk Podcasts
Here are the resources I turn to when I want to throw up my hands.
Podcasts:
UNRUFFLED ~ Respectful Parenting with Janet Lansbury.
Magda Gerber, a Hungarian lady (like yours truly) that immigrated to Los Angeles in her thirties, is probably one of the most influential early childhood educators. Janet teaches Magda Gerber’s parenting principles. Great podcast for those with kids 0-4 or 5.
GOOD INSIDE - with Dr. Becky Kennedy
Great “troubleshooting” or parent pep talks for parents with kids any age. Dr Becky also has an online seminar community I heard great things about!
courses:
Reconnected Parenting | The Reconnected
If spiritual parenting floats your boat this is it!
Super unique approach: Play Therapy meets Breathwork meets Attachment theory meets Nervous System education.
I found it very effective in managing my capacity to meet my kids where they are at.
Terry Real is a therapist who invented a new approach in couples counseling, and this is his same approach transposed to parenting. Compassionate. Whereas in other parenting courses I sometimes feel pangs of shame in response to how advice is framed, here - there is no shame, just agency. I learned so much.
Kelly LaPorta LMFT is all about radical responsibility and parent nervous system regulation. This lady’s stuff is tough love, no bs.
Instagram “therapy”
I enjoy
Destini Ann’s down-to-earth explanations of the tough route of gentle parenting
Kelly LaPorta's Wired for Wellbeing posts are very eye opening
Dr Becky is just a classic as far as I am concerned and every parent with an instagram will be happy to see her posts
Feeding Littles their instagram is 80% comedy but their courses are legit
Big Time Adulting comedienne makes me feel so seen. Pure gold if dark humor floats your boat.
This reel will make you cry! - I saved it and watch it every time I’m fed up with the kids developmental stage.
