Using Self-Compassion to Transform your Family with Dr. Shauna Shapiro

In this heartfelt conversation, Wendy and Terry are joined by the incredible Dr. Shauna Shapiro—clinical psychologist, bestselling author, and mindfulness researcher—to talk about what it really looks like to weave self-compassion and mindfulness into our everyday family life. You’ll hear how Shauna’s IAA model (Intention, Attention, Attitude) helps us respond to our kids with more presence and less reactivity, and why “what you practice grows stronger” is such a powerful truth for parents.

Together, they dive into the real-life stuff: how to pause in the heat of a moment, release shame, and offer ourselves the same kindness we give our children. You’ll walk away with simple, beautiful tools—like the “Good morning, I love you” practice—that can rewire your brain, soften your heart, and help you find calm even on the wildest of days. Whether you’re in a season of overwhelm or simply craving more joy at home, this episode will leave you feeling inspired, grounded, and reminded that it’s never too late to begin again.
