If you’ve ever wondered what it would take to get better behavior from your kids without excessive requests, threats, or discipline that didn’t feel in line with your parenting values you may just be overlooking this part of the equation.  In today’s show I’m chatting with Ann Kaplan, a parenting coach who is going to answer that question.

Ann is a mother of four children and a parent coach based in Denver, Colorado.

She has lived the dream (and difficulty) of parenting through every childhood stage, from infancy through adolescence. She understands not only the joys but the difficulties and worries that come as a parent.

Ann has a unique holistic approach to parent work that includes emotional support, home management skills, AND effective discipline that empowers children while improving behavior.

She coaches women through various stages of motherhood -- from conception to the transition into their new motherhood role, to behavioral challenges, to starting a business with kids in tow.

Ann is someone who will give it to you straight and love you fiercely.

In this episode you'll learn:

• The biggest obstacle Ann sees that keeps parents back from doing what they know they need to do with their children
• The ‘magical hocus pocus’ that working with your nervous system can do for better family harmony
• The accidental hypocrisy many parents engage in when it comes to their own emotions + feelings
• What emotional attunement with our kids is and what it isn’t
• How enforcing boundaries with our kids is an act of service for them

A radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire. She's working to improve her life, the lives of her children, and shape the landscape of her community. If that's you - you're in the right place.


This podcast is designed to connect you with resources, inspiration, and the reminder that you are not alone as you embark on your journey of radical mothering.


I’m your host Christa Bevan and I’m a nervous system educator for cycle breaker moms as well as a certified TRE (trauma releasing exercises) provider, and a trauma-informed yoga instructor. And of course, a fellow Radical Mother. My approach to this work blends neuroscience backed tools and heart-centered intuition.
