[Episode 18] When There’s No One to “Tag in”: Snapping, Self-Compassion, and Nonviolent Communication for Solo Parents, with Ali Miller

How do you balance your child’s need for connection with your own need for space, especially when there’s no adult to “tag in”?

That’s just one of the questions we explore in this conversation with Ali Miller, a Single Mom by Choice and an expert in Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

In this episode, you’ll hear:

✔︎ The three essential principles of NVC, and how they apply to parenting.

✔︎ An open, vulnerable conversation about the challenges of parenting solo, including guilt, blame, resentment, and the power of self-compassion.

✔︎ Real-time coaching around one of Ali’s ongoing challenges: Supporting her daughter’s need for connection without entirely sacrificing her own needs.
