About This Podcast

Parenting for Thought is a podcast for curious, compassionate grownups raising (and becoming) better humans. Hosted by child behavior specialist Emry Kettle, each episode explores what it actually takes to parent with clarity, connection, and intention — without shame, pressure, or perfection. Through real conversations with guests and personal reflections, Emry dives into the messy, meaningful parts of parenting — from power struggles and neurodivergence to emotional regulation and inner child healing. Whether you’re deep in the toddler trenches or rethinking your parenting approach from the ground up, you’ll find grounded insights, practical tools, and just the right amount of gentle swearing. Come for the validation. Stay for the growth.
