The Aware Parenting Stories podcast explores the world of parenting through conversations with people who are passionate about parenting and supporting others to parent in this beautiful way. Each week I interview inspiring parents to discuss the joys and challenges of parenting that we all face in our families. The aim is to inspire us all on our parenting adventures and to bring more compassion, connection and community to our lives.

Episode 152 - Belonging in Motherhood with Danni & Joss
This episode is another beautiful conversation with Danni Willow. We talk about our imprints around belonging and sisterhood from our childhood and how they can shape our relationships with other women as adults. We share how we have supported ourselves to find safety, trust and authentic connection in friendship now as women. We discuss learning how to navigate rupture and repair in friendship just as we do with our children after times of disconnection. We share the power of Aware Parenting supporting us to be willing to listen to another's feelings without judgement and understanding what is underneath behaviour rather than taking it personally. We validate the deep painful feelings that come when friendships end. We discuss the journey of Motherhood and the essential importance of connection with other mothers, sharing the journey and learning how to be vulnerable and how to celebrate together. We discuss the healing power being in spaces with other mothers, offering and receiving unconditional love and acceptance.
