What parents are saying...

“I did this course last year and honestly can’t recommend it enough! As a mum to two teens (16 and 17), I found the sessions engaging, practical, and full of real-life strategies that actually work. We still have our ‘wobbly’ moments, of course, but I’ve noticed such a difference in how we connect and communicate now”.

As a busy mum, the moment you finally sit down with a book and cup of tea is usually the exact moment you hear "I'm huuungry..."

Right now I'm reading The Mindful Parent by Shirley Pastiroff, which my friend Chantal at Renew Your Mind published. The chapter I'm on? "Non-judgmental acceptance."

The universe has a sense of humor.

Because the gap between reading about mindfulness and living it is about three minutes before reality hits. Deep breath. Close the book. Wash the carrot. Slice it while they hover. Watch them demolish it in 47 seconds. Door slams.

You sit back down.

That's the practice.

Not the perfect quiet moment. Not uninterrupted meditation. Just this. The small return. The breath between demands.

If you're navigating the beautiful chaos of parenting and want practical tools (not just theory), Renew Your Mind is running a Mindful Parenting class starting Oct 30th: https://bit.ly/46wjUv2

And if you're looking to keep your kitchen stocked with the kind of healthy snacks that buy you five more minutes of peace? New Bliss Box customers can use code MINDFULPARENT for $20 off your first delivery this October. (T&Cs apply)

Sometimes mindfulness is a practice. Sometimes it's having organic carrots in the fridge.

Online Mindful Parenting Teens & Pre-Teens Course

As our children grow, our parenting skills need to evolve to offer a different style of connection and communication, alongside age-appropriate strategies that look very different to those that are effective when our children are younger.

This course aims to support all parents (with children aged 10-18) in feeling confident navigating the challenges of the adolescent years, while enjoying the journey to a deeper and richer connection that comes with this season of parenting.

6 evenings starting October 30th 7.30-9.00
Attend live, watch on demand or mix it up.

✨Mindful Parenting Course - 1 WEEK TO GO!✨

Have you signed up yet? We'd love to see you there.

✨Mindful Parenting Course - 2 WEEKS TO GO!✨

I read something recently that described how...

🌸"Being a parent makes you feel like a blanket that’s always too small, no matter how hard you try to cover everyone, there’s always someone freezing".🌸

I often felt my parenting was never enough, the blanket couldn't quite stretch, but mindful parenting helped me to connect to my children whilst allowing me to rediscover that I already had what I needed.

In the Mindful Parenting course, I will introduce you to a whole new way to approach parenting that brings more fun, freedom, peace and calm in one wonderful package. Too good to be true? There's only one way to find out.

I'd love you to join me on our 6-week Mindful Parenting course and I’ll show you how to warm you and your children with connection and know when it’s ok to feel the chill.

Start date: Wed 21st Aug ’24
Time: 7.30 – 9pm
Duration: six evenings
Location: Zoom

(Recordings available on demand for any missed sessions)

Teen Mindful Parenting Course - 2 WEEKS TO GO!

✨You think this is hard?! Wait til they’re teenagers!
✨You know teenagers don't have access to much of their brains!
✨By the way, he’ll just grunt for a few years, no real sentences!
✨Literally ALL DAY on her screen!

Does this sound familiar? Are you in the trenches already with a teen or two of your own? Or maybe anxiously hurtling towards it with your precious pre-teen?

The teen years get a bad rap, and sometimes understandably so. It’s a season of exploration, of growing autonomy and unique brain development, with a few additional challenges - like peer pressure, acne and self-consciousness as a full-time job. Now add a sprinkle (or a double shot) of social media, and apparently, we have a recipe for disaster, both for the teens themselves and the parents trying valiantly to cope.

But there really is another way - to think about teenagers, live with teenagers, love them, connect with them, enjoy them - and, dare I say it, get them (within reason) to do what you say!

If you’re keen to know more I’d love to invite you to the brand new Pre-teen/Teen Mindful Parenting Course.

Start date: Wed 21st Aug ’24
Time: 7.30 – 9pm
Duration: six evenings
Location: Zoom
(Recordings available on demand for any missed sessions)
