Mindful Parenting member Katie has been working on skillful responses to her three-year-old, but her husband disagrees with her responses.

In this special on-air coaching session, Hunter talks Katie through how to respond to these difficult situations—with her child and her partner!

But some fear is healthy and some is not. It’s smart for us to stay home, wash our hands (a LOT), and boost our immune systems, but what about when fear leads us to obsess? I invited Iyanla Vanzant, author, and star of “Iyanla: Fix My Life,” back to the Mindful Mama podcast to talk about how to take care of fear.

Iyanla Vanzant is the host and Executive Producer of OWN’s acclaimed and award-winning series, “Iyanla: Fix My Life.” Iyanla’s body of work spans over three decades and includes 18 published books, six New York Times best-sellers CDs, television, radio, and stage performances.
