  1. Rachel says:

    Thank you for this podcast! I just discovered you a few weeks ago and have been doing a lot of listening. This was so interesting to me and helped me make some connections about my own childhood and the way it triggers me as a parent at times. I wanted to ask, do you have any recommendations for what to look for in a therapist, as far as a certain method or type of license?
    Thanks!

    • You’re welcome Rachel! I’m so glad you’ve discovered the podcast and are enjoying listening. Yes, yes making those connections and growing in our awareness can unlock so much growth. Hmmmm, that’s a good question that doesn’t have a simple answer, which is why insurance companies allow you like 10 first sessions before you have to commit to a therapist. I read through the bios and websites of potential therapists and get a pretty quick sense of whether or not they’d be a good fit, so I recommend starting there and trusting your gut.

  2. Roisin Huang says:

    This was wonderful. Thank You.

  3. Gisele says:

    Great episode! What’s the children’s book on OCD Rachelle mentioned?

  4. Tara says:

    Thanks for a fantastic episode full of resources! I’d love to hear more from Rachel’s talented husband. Is there a link to his work? Thank you!

    • I keep trying to trick him back onto the podcast to do an episode with me but unlike when I got him on the intro, he now knows that people are actually listening and says no thank you. I’ll keep working on him!

  5. Sarah says:

    What is the song you played at the end of this episode? It’s beautiful!

I work from an island in the Pacific Northwest, where I live wild and free in connection with my hilarious husband and three growing sailors in our fixer upper on the beach. I authentically live this healing work out loud raising my own neurodivergent family (inner child included) and draw on my decades of education and experience (I've done all the nerdy work so you don't have to) to guide a revolution of overwhelmed parents just like you to feeling at peace within yourself, consciously connected with your children, embraced by a supportive community, and enjoying a values-aligned life you love.
