About The Balanced Parent Podcast
Parenting is often lived in the extremes. It’s either great joy or chaotic overwhelm. One moment you’re nailing it and the next you’re losing your cool. I want to help you find your way to the messy middle, to a place of balance. You see, balance is a verb, not a state of being. It is a thing you DO, not a thing you ARE. It’s an action, a process, a series of micro-corrections that we make, each and every day, to keep ourselves feeling centered. We are never truly balanced, we are engaged in the process of balancing.Hello, I’m Dr. Laura Froyen, and this is the Balancing Parenting Podcast, where overwhelmed, stressed-out, and disconnected parents go to find tools, mindset shifts, and practices to help them stop yelling at the people they love and start connecting all delivered with heaping doses of grace and compassion. Join me in conversations that will help you get clear on your goals and values and start showing up in your parenting, your relationships, YOUR LIFE, with open-hearted authenticity and balance.

There's a lot that comes to mind. And one thing is, and I don't know how much of this is just getting older or how much of it is the different role I have as a grandfather versus a dad. more laid back right i look at my son and my daughter-in-law who have three little girls and you forget how breathtakingly huge that experience is and it's like okay now we got to get our soccer cleats and we got to go to this and there's a lesson oh and there's a dance recital what time is the dance recital over it's like they have these such full calendars and And as a grandfather, I don't have the day-to-day responsibilities.
