Reflective Parenting by Curious Neuron
Parenting shouldn’t be defined by stress, guilt, and self-doubt. Yet for 94% of parents, that’s what our days feel like. As a neuroscientist and mom of three, I know firsthand how easy it is to end the day overwhelmed, wishing you’d been calmer, more present, or more patient with your child. That’s why I created The Reflective Parenting Podcast—a place where we pause, reflect, and discover a new way forward.
Join me every Monday as we explore science-backed skills that replace guilt with confidence and stress with calm so that you, and your child, can thrive. Some weeks, I’ll share my own reflections as a parent who’s still learning, just like you. Other weeks, I’ll bring in experts from psychology, neuroscience, and beyond to dive into the research and uncover practical ways we can make parenting feel lighter, less overwhelming, and more connected.
Parents don’t need more advice or another education-heavy podcast. What they truly need is a space to pause, reflect, and grow. Reflective parenting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about noticing what drives our reactions and choosing to show up with intention. This podcast is about building resilience, trust, and connection, and joining a movement to reimagine what parenting can feel like—for us, and for our kids.

Wow Cindy! Thank you for following your passion and your gut! It’s truly amazing to hear your story and also layer parenting with passion on top of it! I was moved by your “yelling at your soup” story. I can’t quite imagine what it would be like to have a partner that created a safe space with their presence. My experience, and so many of the experiences around me, are that the partner cannot handle how hard parenting is and a moment like that would be worsened by their presence. In your story, I assume your partner picked up on what needed to happen parenting wise and continued on with the task. Relationship goals 🩷
