About This Podcast
Welcome to “Parenting Through Connection” with Megan Lachance, a podcast where we dive into the real struggles and complexities of parenting with honesty, hope, and practical strategies. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of raising kids while juggling life’s demands, you're not alone.
Each episode explores both sides of the parenting journey: managing stress and societal expectations, and building strong, meaningful relationships with your children. We’ll talk about the tough stuff; the things people don’t want to talk about or try to hide yet everyone experiences, the moments of feeling stuck and the times when parenting doesn’t feel like the dream you imagined…the ‘hidden’ parts of parenting that results in yelling, anger & sometimes even rage. Through relatable stories, mini coaching sessions, and actionable tips, Megan will help you break through the barriers that keep you feeling stuck, offering support and encouragement to help you find balance.
Parenting doesn’t have to be a daily struggle. Let’s normalize the challenges, let go of shame, and discover ways to enjoy the journey while strengthening your connection with your kids. So tune into “Parenting Through Connection” for a dose of hope, real talk, and the support you need to thrive as a parent.
