Well-being

The world has changed so dramatically in the past twenty years that many of us can barely keep up. In many ways, thinking about my own childhood feels like looking back to the dark ages! How are we supposed to know how to prepare our children for this world when we barely understand it ourselves?

The first and most critical step is to take exceptional care of ourselves.

I know this sounds counterintuitive when the focus is usually on the children, but in this wild world (pleasant or not-so-pleasant), creating a sanctuary of calm for our families isn't just a luxury; it's essential.

At Raising Change, we don't just talk about the importance of self-care—we prioritise it. We're passionate about empowering parents with the tools they need to create environments where they and their children can thrive. We believe in the transformative power of self-reflection, especially when it involves unravelling our own childhood experiences.

Engaging in this reflective practice allows us to understand our actions, reactions, and parenting styles on a deeper level, opening the door to becoming the compassionate, connected parents we hope to be.

That's why we are creating programs that first introduce parents to guilt-free daily self-care practices—because the most important thing you can do for your children is to be well yourself.

Our Beginner’s Guide to Everyday Mindfulness for Parents Mini-Workshop is designed to help you integrate mindfulness practices into your daily routine with ease. Over seven days of short, simple lessons, you’ll learn practical tools to reduce stress, improve your well-being, and create a nurturing environment for both you and your children.
