Ep 114: The Simple Things We Can Do to Up Our Parenting Game with Rachel Bailey

Kids…they make life amazing and I, for one, am thrilled that I get to be a parent. But, that doesn't always mean it’s easy.

Especially because most of us go into it without any idea what we are in for. There is no manual or game plan that you’re handed when you become a parent. Sure, there are books to read and parent groups you can join, and while those things make it easier, we can still be left wondering if we are doing the right things for our kids.

That’s why I am excited to be talking with Rachel Bailey about being the best parents we can be - without the guilt and expectation to be the perfect parents. It’s not about doing more, or setting unrealistic expectations. It’s all about being real - with yourself and your children.

Rachel Bailey is a Parenting Specialist who has been serving families for over a decade. Besides being a mother of two, she also has a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, a certification in Positive Discipline, and has provided services as an ADHD Coach, in-home mentor, and therapist. Through her podcast, programs, and services Rachel teaches parents hands-on tools for raising responsible, resilient children... while reducing the stress and guilt in parents' lives.

This one was an eye-opener for me and I loved chatting with her. I know you’re going to love it too!
