Episode 220: From sleep deprived mum to Aware Parenting instructor with Nic Wilson

Author: Marion Rose, PhD. February 26, 2025 Duration: 1:08:52
In this episode, I welcome back Nic Wilson, who was also in the last episode. This marks the return to talking about Aware Parenting, and is the first episode in a mini-series about people's journeys to become Aware Parenting instructors. Please note that Nic shares about going through a very tough time of three years of her daughter waking up every 45 minutes and feeling desperate and in her own words, "very low". Nic then talks about coming to Aware Parenting, how much it resonated, and the transformation it has brought to her and her daughter, who is now 11. Because Aware Parenting was so life-changing and life-saving for her, she knew that this is what she wanted to offer other parents. Nic shares about starting my Aware Parenting Instructor Mentoring Course, and then the amazing synchronicity that happened! Nic also talks about doing 1:1 Aware Parenting Instructor Mentoring with me, and the process she went through to start posting on Instagram. She also explains how connected she and her daughter are, and gives tangible examples of this. We talk about how much we both love waking up and creating posts or doing other things to share Aware Parenting. Nic offers 1:1 mentoring, as well as her Surviving School with Aware Parenting and The Marion Method Course, amongst other courses.

Marion Rose, PhD. hosts The Aware Parenting Podcast, drawing from her role as a level two instructor and regional coordinator for Australia and New Zealand within this philosophy. The foundation of her discussions is Aware Parenting, an approach developed by Aletha Solter, PhD. Rather than offering quick fixes or rigid rules, this podcast delves into the nuanced and often emotional landscape of raising children-and ourselves. Each episode considers the practical and psychological aspects of family life, from navigating daily challenges to understanding the deeper patterns that influence our reactions. You’ll hear explorations on how to support children’s emotional expression, build trusting relationships, and approach discipline from a place of connection. The concept of reparenting-the work we do to heal our own childhood experiences-is woven throughout, recognizing how our past shapes our present parenting. Marion’s perspective provides a compassionate framework for anyone looking to move beyond autopilot reactions and cultivate more awareness in their family dynamics. Tuning into this podcast feels like a thoughtful conversation with a knowledgeable guide, one that respects the complexity of both the child’s and the parent’s inner world.
