Really beneficial podcast in short snippets.

I've been following Michelle on Instagram for a while, but i find her podcasts are even better- they are short and easy to listen to and digest but have got loads of helpful tips and info squashed into them. I've been implementing her advice and style and really found it helpful with all the kids from age 4-18! She's such a down to earth and warm person that you don't feel you are being shamed or guilty for being a bad parent. I would recommend listening to her and following her for any parent who wants to make a real and lasting connection with their children or kids in their lives. Thank you so much for all your hard work Michelle!
