Episode 18: Faith, Feelings & Family: Emotionally Healthy Parenting

In this heart-centered and eye-opening episode of Wholistically Psyched, I sit down with licensed Christian therapist and author Meaghan Hampton, the creator behind Soul Care for Families and The Big Feelings Book.

Together, they explore what it means to raise emotionally healthy kids while staying rooted in faith — even when it means rethinking traditional Christian parenting approaches. From breaking away from shame-based discipline to supporting neurodivergent children with compassion and clarity, Meaghan brings both professional insight and lived experience to the table.

💬 Topics we cover:

• Why “delayed obedience is disobedience” may need rethinking
• Parenting neurodivergent kids through a lens of grace and understanding
• Emotional regulation tools grounded in faith and psychology
• The story behind The Big Feelings Book
• Her controversial (and deeply personal) shift away from sleep training

Whether you're navigating tantrums or teen emotions, this episode offers hope, tools, and a whole lot of heart.
