Today, Natalie has the privilege of hosting Mia Wisinski. They discuss how to process emotions and connect with your children in a way that helps you both regulate your emotions while having fun and creating joyful experiences together.

Mia is the heart behind Playful Heart Parenting — a mom and stepmom whose background in theatre and songwriting as a performer and educator deeply shapes her approach to parenting. Her style is rooted in connection, creativity, and a whole lot of laughter.

Though Mia carried her playful spirit into adulthood, it took a hit when she unexpectedly became a stepmom and felt immense pressure to “get it right.” That moment kicked off an eight-year journey of reclaiming playfulness — a journey that’s since helped hundreds of thousands of parents do the same.

Today, she helps parents reconnect with their kids (and themselves) through simple, silly moments of play. Above all, Mia believes we all deserve joy and that playfulness is one of the most overlooked — and most powerful — tools in the positive parenting toolbox.

Mia's methods for working through challenging situations with your kids are both enjoyable and refreshing! You are sure to love and laugh through this episode!

Natalie invites you to listen in and stay for this journey.
