162: Welcome Back - Navigating Challenges; Finding Purpose

In this heartfelt episode of The Balanced Parent, your host returns from a summer sabbatical to share a deeply personal journey. After taking a break to reconnect with my children and my purpose as a parenting coach and educator, I faced immense challenges, including the diagnosis process for my daughter. During this time, maintaining authenticity on the podcast became a significant struggle, as my family's difficulties were intensely private. Hence, I took a break from work and social media.

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.
