Lauren Pla - Conscious Parenting, Connection not Correction!
EPISODE 9.
Welcome to Episode 9 of the How Change Changes You Podcast. Here Lauren Pla shares how diving into her own inner, personal development work led her to view how she parents in a completely different way.
Lauren lives in New Jersey, in the US with her husband, 22 year old daughter and 16 year old son. She shares how her parenting has changed and evolved over the course of her ever-increasing self awareness. We talk about the importance of observing ourselves - noticing how we think, feel and act, and how that impacts how we relate to our children. We also cover the power of accepting all parts of ourselves, so we have the ability to do the same, for the greatest growth of the people we’re bringing up!
Lauren speaks passionately about practicing compassionate curiosity. How it can help you as a parent avoid falling into the trap of constant stress through judging and trying to control your child, in the name of love and protection; instead of trusting them, giving them space to find their own ways, whilst being there for them in a supportive and loving way.
Lauren openly and honestly shares her ongoing journey into becoming a more conscious person and parent - reminding us that it's not easy, BUT it is often more simple than we think!
Lauren is a Certified Life and Empowerment Coach who has a passion for illuminating the inner strengths we are born with. Having experienced a variety of different challenges through her life, Lauren came to realize that the lessons she took from each one were invaluable, and she feels a deep pull to offer her insights to younger generations so no person ever feels like they need to do life alone.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to everything, and embracing the Human in each moment is what makes the journey beautiful. She currently coaches Teens and Young Adults around confidence, resilience and self-trust. She also coaches Parents through the stress and feelings of disconnection during teen-hood.
