Summary
In this warm and honest chat, educator and parenting counselor Lael Stone joins Rachel to unpack the messy, beautiful reality of parenting — especially for single mums. They dive into everything from emotional wellbeing and trusting your parenting instincts to navigating co-parenting and supporting kids through separation. Lael shares practical tips on talking about big feelings, modelling healthy emotional responses, and recognising the unseen struggles so many parents face. Together, Lael and Rachel explore how childhood shapes us, how relationships evolve over time, and how our kids often become our greatest teachers. It’s a heartfelt conversation about staying connected, finding joy, and showing up consciously — even when it’s hard.
