Unmad

Unmad – Tiny parenting habits, monumental family change. Stress less and connect more in one month.

As we dust ourselves off from the global trauma of a pandemic, our children feel fragile and anxious like never before. They look to us, the light of their lives, to reignite hope in themselves and their futures. Waiting for children to be less triggering and more emotionally mature, is one of the biggest parenting mistakes I see. Investing in yourself and your emotions, benefits yours and your childs brain development and sense of wellbeing much sooner and more efficiently.

With self-compassion, (that means being kind and understanding towards yourself), you can rid yourself of energy draining stress and guilt, freeing up your emotional resources to understand why you react, how you react and what to do instead. The less stressed we are, the easier parenting is and the more connected we can be with our children.

Unmad is an essential guide for every parent seeking to cultivate emotional resilience and bring greater calm to their family life. With expert insights and practical tools, this book empowers you to manage stress, defuse tension, and respond to your child’s needs with patience and clarity.

From understanding the science behind your emotional triggers to developing mindful strategies for staying grounded, Unmad offers a roadmap to transforming your home into a sanctuary of calm and connection. Whether you’re dealing with toddler tantrums or teenage angst, this book will help you break the cycle of reactive parenting and embrace a more thoughtful, balanced approach.

Discover how mastering your emotions can lead to more meaningful relationships with your children, a more peaceful household, and a happier, more fulfilled parenting journey. Perfect for parents at any stage, Unmad is your go-to resource for building emotional strength and creating the family life you’ve always wanted.
