Episode 49 – Keep Calm and Parent On | I AM SELF-ISH™ Podcast
Parenting isn’t just about raising kids. It’s about raising ourselves in the process.
In this episode, I sit down with parent consultant and educator Kelly Burtnick for a grounded conversation on conscious communication, emotional intelligence, and why self-awareness is the foundation of peaceful parenting.
Kelly shares her journey from classroom teacher to parent coach and breaks down how understanding child development and managing our own triggers can transform the entire family dynamic. We talk about the pressure parents feel to “get it right,” the fear of messing up, and the truth that parents are learning right alongside their kids.
This episode is your reminder that calm is possible, connection is teachable, and parents deserve support too.
