A hilarious quick listen

Yes, like the last comment. Super funny. I just was cracking up but it makes sense. Loved it. Just shared with my best friend.

DV8ION GIRL ,

The BEST parenting podcast around!

His courses give actionable and attainable steps to improving your relationship with your strong willed child. I’ve recently started these lessons and the improvements are unmeasurable. (No, I’m not being paid to write this review, nor was I asked to. His lessons are just this dang good!) I love that this entire family is so accessible, competent and kind. If you do one thing this year to improve your relationship with your strong willed child it would be in your best interest to choose this. There is so much great content and he makes it so user friendly. Me having stumbled upon this podcast has been such a blessing! I love everything about this podcast and Celebrate Calm. I have been listening to his “everything package” and wowza it has upped my parenting game 1000%! I am forever grateful for the wisdom and insight found within these lessons and his ability to break it down into easy to digest lessons for the busy and struggling parent! 5 stars for sure!
