In this heartfelt episode, we dive deep into a topic that often gets lost in the busyness of raising children — self-love and relationships. Host Jen welcomes relationship and self-love coach, Lisa Sarayeldin, to explore how parents can reconnect with themselves while nurturing their family relationships.

Lisa Sarayeldin is a relationship and self-love coach, author, and former assistant principal with a deep passion for helping people break free from self-doubt and step into their worth. After years of guiding students and educators, she realised the most important lesson wasn’t found in a curriculum—it was in learning to love, accept, and empower ourselves.

Now, through coaching, writing, and speaking, Lisa helps individuals rewrite their inner narrative, embrace self-love, and build relationships from a place of wholeness. Her work is grounded in the belief that self-love isn’t a luxury; it’s the foundation for everything. Having walked her own path of growth, resilience, and self-discovery, she’s here to guide others to do the same.

Lisa shares powerful insights on:

• Why self-love isn't a luxury, but a necessity during the early years of parenting
• How small, intentional acts of self-kindness can transform your energy, parenting, and partnerships
• Recognising signs of self-neglect and how to rebuild a loving relationship with yourself
• Practical NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) strategies to shift mindset, language, and emotional responses
• The ripple effect of self-love on romantic relationships — and how to rebuild connection through tiny, meaningful gestures
• Understanding emotional triggers, societal conditioning, and how parenthood can be your greatest teacher for personal growth
• Tips for improving communication with your partner and setting healthy boundaries without guilt

We also unpack the myths of 'big' self-care and highlight how the smallest daily rituals — from drinking water to anchoring affirmations — can rebuild your sense of self and resilience.

If you're feeling stretched thin, disconnected from yourself, or longing to strengthen your bond with your partner while navigating parenthood, this episode will give you hope, permission, and practical steps to begin.

In this bite-sized episode, I’m diving into one of the most powerful tools I’ve found in parenting: working with your baby’s natural rhythm instead of forcing a rigid routine.

I’m not here to give you strict nap schedules or set times. This episode is all about understanding your baby’s circadian rhythm—their internal body clock and how aligning with it can make sleep smoother, reduce emotional meltdowns, and bring more ease to your day.

Here’s what I’ll cover:

• What circadian rhythm actually is and why it matters for your child’s sleep, digestion, and mood
• The signs that your little one’s rhythm might be off (like early wakings, nap battles, and bedtime chaos)
• Why rhythm offers more flexibility and peace of mind than routine ever could
• Three simple ways how you can support your baby’s rhythm today

I want you to feel less stressed, more connected, and confident in tuning into your child’s needs because when they feel safe in their rhythm, everything becomes easier. Sleep improves. Behaviour softens. And parenting feels lighter.

You don’t need to do it perfectly. You just need to start paying attention to the natural flow of your baby’s day—and yours too.

In this deeply personal and powerful solo episode of Thriving Parent-ing, we explore one of the most underrated yet transformational aspects of the parenting journey: Self-Trust.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, second-guessed your choices, or searched endlessly online for validation, this conversation is for you. Your host unpacks what it truly means to trust yourself as a parent — not just to follow your instincts, but to respond in a way that aligns with your values, your child's unique needs, and your long-term goals.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• The difference between instinct and self-trust in parenting
• How to build and strengthen your self-trust muscle
• Four key ways to nurture self-trust:

1. Slow down and truly see your child
2. Experiment and reflect without fear of failure
3. Seek the right kind of validation and support
4. Understand emotional and developmental milestones

• Why self-trust impacts your relationship with your child — and how they feel it
• How your confidence as a parent creates emotional security for your little one

Real talk, relatable analogies (like driving for the first time), and a reminder that you don't have to be perfect to be present. Self-trust is your parenting superpower, and it’s built moment by moment — through presence, practice, and grace.
