393 - Why Mindfulness will Change Your Brain and Your Parenting with Hunter Clarke-Fields, author of Raising Good Humans
Manage episode 508540740 series 3550121
If you’ve ever looked at your kid mid-meltdown and thought, “Why am I reacting like this? I know better”—you’re not alone.
There’s a gap between what we know and how we show up in the heat of parenting.
And the bridge across that gap? Practiced, embodied mindfulness—not perfection or more willpower.
In this episode, I’m joined by Hunter Clarke-Fields, MSAE, RYT—international bestselling author of Raising Good Humans, creator of the Mindful Parenting course & teacher training, and host of the Mindful Mama podcast.
A former “parenting yeller” turned mindfulness teacher with 20+ years of practice, Hunter has been featured on CNBC, NBC, FOX, HuffPost, Tiny Buddha, MOPS, and more.
Her mission: help caregivers and kids live more mindfully and compassionately—without shame, rigidity, or 2-hour morning routines.
We’re diving into:
✔️ Mindfulness 101: what it really is (and how to practice it in 1–5 minutes, not just 20)
✔️ The neuroscience: shrinking amygdala reactivity, strengthening your prefrontal cortex (hello impulse control + clarity)
✔️ How to close the “I know better” → “I do better” gap with tiny, repeatable reps (not more information)
✔️ Practical tools to grow the pause before you snap—so you can respond instead of react
If you’ve been trying to “think your way” to calmer parenting while your nervous system is sprinting the other direction, this one’s for you.
🎧 Press play to learn simple, science-backed ways to regulate in the moment, parent with more presence, and bring real peace back into your home.
