    Ever had a CPM (Cr*p Parenting Moment)? If so - do this

    2025/10/17 | 12 mins.
    Ever done something you KNOW not to do. And yet you can't help yourself?!
    You know not to shout, and yet you still do.
    You know your child wants your attention, and yet you just can't give it.
    These are not signs that you're a bad parent.
    Instead, they're indications that you need something. And it's not more information or What To Do videos.
    Listen in to what you really need instead.

    Building Physical and Emotional Resilience

    2025/10/04 | 15 mins.
    If you ever panic when your child is upset because they've hurt themselves and you don't know how to help them overcome anxiety as a result of their injury, then this episode is going to help.
    I recently dislocated my shoulder (again) and what I did in one hour the following week transformed my recovery.
    Even though this was a more painful and traumatic event than when I dislocated it 3 years before, I now feel much more confident physically and emotionally.
    Listen in to discover what it was and how you can transform your child's painful experiences so that they are less likely to carry any fear or anxiety from it.

    2025/08/13 | 19 mins.
    How are holidays with your children? Relaxing, wonderful and Instagramable? Or stressful and exhausting?!

    Whether it's a weekend away, camping, flying, or a regular holiday, discover why your child might have more meltdowns, how to manage those overwhelming moments, and what you can proactively do to make the whole experience as fun as possible - for everyone!
    Save this episode for when you next go on holiday to remind you of what you can do to have the best time.

    Trusting Yourself As A Mum

    2025/08/08 | 56 mins.
    Do you trust yourself? Are you gentle with yourself? Can you calm that urgent voice in your head, and bring a strong sense of peace into your mind and your body?
    Because that is what I want for you.
    To deeply trust yourself as a Mum, to release trauma, and to feel confident in who you are.
    Vicki Plomer is an Aware Parenting Instructor, a Somatic Therapist and a Trauma-Informed Energy Practitioner.
    In this episode we talk about about how to tune out the “shoulds”, connect more deeply with your own intuition in order to lead a more joyful, authentic life of freedom.
    Vicki also shares a practice to re-centre yourself and come back to your body the next time you feel overwhelmed.
    This episode is a mix of Aware Parenting and practical body-based practices that will strengthen your self compassion and, ultimately, your trust in yourself.
