Michelle Manning-Osborn

Michelle Manning-Osborn @conscious.hippie.mama

Making the Move to Conscious Parenting

Details

In this interview, Michelle teaches us:

  • How “conscious parenting” is different from “traditional parenting”
  • Tips for overcoming parenting burnout
  • Different expectations for children based on age
  • A simple answer to the question, “what if my kids don’t listen?”
  • Steps for transporting your kids to a calm, rational state

Michelle started blogging on Instagram in 2018 shortly after becoming a mother. The isolation of motherhood encouraged her to share her struggles and successes with friends she made on social media who were going through similar things. Fast forward to 2021, and now a mother to two under three she realized she did not like being a parent and how she parented. Michelle began researching gentle parenting and implementing it slowly while sharing her journey on Instagram. She realized then that she wanted to begin work on herself and started "Conscious Parenting."

For the last year and a half, Michelle has relentlessly studied conscious and gentle parenting. Along with her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, Michelle uses her knowledge to help other parents navigate parenthood and how to parent as their best selves.

Parents just like you LOVE our summits!

Renee, you are a wonderful host! Your questioning is so organic and done with such ease. You really listen and empathize with the speaker and with what is being said. I also love how you allow yourself to become vulnerable by sharing your feelings and experiences with your guest speakers and audience. With you as a host, I, as a listener, don’t feel so alone on this journey of learning. Your presence has made my experience with the summit so wonderful! Thank you for hosting, and for offering such a beneficial resource!

Lynetta

I am one of those moms out there trying to fill my tool bag with the most effective emotional tools to help my kids thrive and enjoy life. My motivation and persistence to keep learning how to help them grow well comes from my own emotional struggles. Your speakers are giving me brilliant and compassionate responses to heal myself and to share with my kids when the heaviness of perfectionism, approval addiction, mindset, expectations and even just their day to day squabbles can weigh down on us.

Adeena

I’ve learned so much. I liked how every professional opened up about their own personal experience with anxiety. They looked so human and let participants feel there is a way out of anxiety.

Thanks for the all the knowledge you've given me.

Shatsei

A colleague forwarded this event and I enrolled immediately. I thought there might be tips and tricks to help me in the classroom, especially with behavior students (kids which have a back story and a tough history). Funnily enough, I watched some speakers and not only became inspired by their words, work and wisdom but also gave me a fresh take on being a parent.

Thomas

It was great to have such a wide variety of experts. With such a choice you can pick and choose which pieces of info are relevant to your situation. As a mum from the UK who has suffered herself in the past and is currently reaching out to find help for my teen, it was amazing to have such insight into all these different topics.
