Do you talk to yourself harshly? Did you know it’s as threatening as if someone else talked to you that way? Parenting expert Gen Muir is my guest today, in an episode packed with tools and techniques to help you (and me) not be so hard about potentially ruining the life of these kids we love so much.

Her new book Little People, Big Feelings is an insight into not just powerful, research based tools and techniques - but a real-life reflection that this powerhouse Mum of four boys uses every day with her own family.

The great news - apparently we only need to get it right 30% of the time to get an A in parenting. I wish highschool had those pass marks!

We cover a lot - the role of self-compassion in parenting and the challenges of step-parenting, the importance of building strong relationships with children and creating a nurturing and supportive environment, self compassion around your own journey as a parent and - a vital discussion about choosing the right vehicle for your family.

Enjoy the show.
