Parenting a highly sensitive child can feel overwhelming, and all the parenting books in the world can only get you so far if your head and your heart are out of alignment with your child's.
Each week life coach Julia McGarey shares her experience of high sensitivity and guides you through the paradigm shifts needed to be the parent your sensitive child needs. Together we can create a new parenting paradigm.

This isn’t a typical podcast, but then, this hasn’t been a typical month for us.
I took an unplanned break from recording new episodes, and I want to take the time today to share a little bit about what’s been going on for us and why a break was necessary.
Going forward, I will publish occasional podcast episodes, but they definitely won’t be weekly. Make sure you are subscribed to the podcast and receiving notifications for new episodes so you don’t miss out when I do release one.
You can also stay connected by subscribing to the Lifeline, my weekly-ish email list. You can do that here. (https://partnered-path-parenting.ck.page/)
I mentioned in the episode that we recently signed my daughter up for tapouts. Tapouts offers weekly group coaching sessions for kids at a very reasonable price. If you’re interested in exploring this option for your child, you can sign up for a free consult here AND get 50% off your first month (http://go.tapouts.com/julilucy). It is an affiliate link, so if you use it we both win - you get 50% off, and I get a referral bonus.
Finally, even though I won’t be podcasting as often, I will still be coaching. You can schedule your free consultation (and learn more about my tiered pricing options) right here (https://juliamcgarey.com/#work). If you’re even remotely considering it, I’d encourage you to get the process started as soon as possible. With my renewed homeschooling commitments, I am very close to fully booked and needing to start a waitlist.

Ep. #115: Lessons Learned from Year 9
In the spirit of reflection, I want to offer you my own reflections, my own lessons learned over the past year of life with my almost nine year old daughter.
We’ve had a lot of ups and downs this year. Our biggest challenges, in retrospect, have been breaking through negativity bias and navigating evolving friendships. Both of these things have created a lot of stress in our lives and have led to a lot of resistance and a big attachment to personal time. So, without diving too deep into any of the details, here are some of my takeaways from this season of our life.
As I mentioned in the episode, my calendar is once again open for consultations. Here's the link to my website: https://juliamcgarey.com/#work

Ep. #114: When they struggle to calm down...
I want to close out 2023 with a question for you to think about.
This is especially pertinent if you were sent to your room a lot as a child or you’ve been immersed in time-out culture as a parent.
The question is this: When your child is upset and pushing you away, or attacking you, or running away from you, what if what they (and probably you) think they need isn’t what they actually need?
In other words, many parents believe that their kids need space to calm down.
Many kids “show us” that they need space to calm down - or that they think they do - by removing themselves from the rest of the group.
What if this is a pattern built on a false belief system?
What if what they actually need is for us to follow them and engage in our own self-regulating practice nearby?
What if we are mis-interpreting the need for a pause as the need for space, for alone time?
