In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, I am giving you another sneak peek inside my

Peaceful Parenting Membership! Listen in as I interview Rachel Simmons as part of our membership’s monthly theme of “Friendship Troubles”. Rachel is an expert on relational aggression, AKA mean girls. We discuss how to intervene in this behaviour when kids are young, how to prevent our child from doing this, and how we can support our children when they’re experiencing it.
