Compassionate parenting for raising confident children
<p><strong>Am you parenting from a place of punishment, or are you guiding your child toward autonomy, self-respect, and healthy emotional expression?</strong> In this episode, I share my insights as a M.Ed and Montessori educator on how to foster respect, emotional resilience, and healthy boundaries in children. I discuss practical strategies to prevent people-pleasing behaviors, handle challenging moments through playful connection (think pillow fights and peekaboo!), and support sensitive children by tracking emotional triggers. You’ll learn to create structured yet nurturing routines that offer stability for your child—and yourself—as you navigate parenting with self-compassion, authenticity, and curiosity.</p><p><strong>This episode is for you if:</strong></p><p>* You worry about raising a people-pleaser or struggle setting boundaries with your child.</p><p>* You have a sensitive, anxious, or energetic child and want actionable ways to support them.</p><p>* You're looking for playful parenting strategies to build emotional resilience.</p><p>* You want guidance on creating structured daily routines that benefit both you and your child.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://alyssaaazander.substack.com/podcastoffer"><strong>SPECIAL INTRO OFFER</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Join the Codependency Alchemy Membership today and save 40% off! 👉🏾 <a target="_blank" href="https://alyssaaazander.substack.com/podcastoffer">Click here to join now!</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://stan.store/alyssaaazander/p/join-the-waitlist-ebph5"><strong>MASTERMIND WAITLIST:</strong></a> This Mastermind is for you if you desire to fast track your healing journey through letting go of the suffocating patterns that have held you back in your life and relationships.

Conscious Clearing: How to repair after conflict
<p><strong>Have you ever felt lingering tension in a relationship—like unspoken resentment, fear, or anxiety creating distance between you and your partner?</strong> In this episode, I dive into <em>conscious clearing</em>, a practice that helps clear unresolved conflict and deepen connection.</p><p>Rather than seeing conflict as something to avoid, I reframe it as an opportunity for growth, intimacy, and repair. I break down the three key steps for a conscious clearing, what tends to happen when we don’t have these, and why it can positively impact our relationships.</p><p><strong>This episode is for you if:</strong></p><p>* You feel tension or unspoken resentment in your relationships.</p><p>* You struggle with how to approach difficult conversations without making things worse.</p><p>* You want to learn a simple practice for clearing conflict and deepening emotional intimacy.</p><p>Codependency Alchemy is a reader-supported publication and podcast.
