In this soulful and deeply insightful episode, Keshia sits down once again with parenting educator, speaker, author, and emotional awareness advocate Lael Stone. With her signature calm wisdom, Lael explores how we, as parents, can navigate our children's emotional worlds without falling into perfectionism or panic about “getting it all right.”

Together, they unravel complex layers around trauma, resilience, sibling rivalry, boundaries, attachment styles, and emotional literacy, equipping parents with genuinely usable insight for family life.

About Lael

Lael is a renowned parenting educator, emotional-awareness expert, childbirth doula, and author of two books, including her latest Own Your Story. She is also the co-creator of Woodland Primary, a play-based and emotionally intelligent school on a Victorian farm.

As a mother of three adult children, Lael’s work spans education, parenting, trauma-informed connection, and adult self-healing.
