Discussing the radical philosophy of

non-coercive, collaborative parenting.

I’ve been on a non-coercive journey with my child and my family since 2018, and along the way I have been faced with so much personal growth and challenges.

Starting this podcast has cracked my view of parenting wide open!

Non-coercive, conscious parenting is a radical departure from mainstream, traditional parenting practices. The essence of the mindset involves collaboration and mutuality with our children.

This is not a parenting approach - this is a value system based on a philosophy of mutual respect.

This podcast is fun, punchy, vulnerable, and exploratory.

Let's dive in and grow together!

Through in-depth discussion and disclosure, therapists and parents Rythea and Cara explore the personal and societal challenges of choosing this uncommon parenting philosophy. The intention behind this podcast is to empower parents with education and tools to help them dismantle the patterns that cause power struggles, disconnection, and stress within our family systems.
