On this episode of the 4 Peaks Parents Podcast, I am joined by Farah Harris, LCPC who is a Belonging & Workplace Well-being expert and a licensed psychotherapist. Farah opens up about how her parenting journey includes raising 3 children, 2 of whom are neurodivergent, and how her parenting has been influenced by, but not defined by her children's diagnoses. We discuss the power of parenting from an instinctual place that's grounded in connection & emotional regulation and we discuss how to support your children w/ confidence & calm.
