Many parents today feel stuck in cycles of frustration, reactivity, and self-doubt—especially when navigating the emotional ups and downs of raising children.
In this episode of the Where Parents Talk podcast host Lianne Castelino speaks with educator, Integral Master Coach, executive coach, author and mom, Micheline Green about moving from control-based parenting to connection-driven leadership.
Grounded in neuroscience and decades of experience, this conversation explores how parents can regulate their own emotions, build stronger relationships with their children, and create a more peaceful, resilient family environment.
You’ll learn why:
- Controlling behaviour doesn’t build trust or emotional safety
- Calm starts within—not with your child’s behaviour
- Parenting is one of the most important leadership roles you’ll ever have
- Your presence matters more than perfection
For parents seeking practical tools, deeper understanding, and lasting change, this episode offers a transformative approach to raising confident, emotionally strong kids.
This episode offers practical strategies and empowering insights for parents looking to reduce conflict, build confidence, and create a more connected family dynamic.
