Flegen x Kim DeMarchi: Not-So-Gentle Parenting

Gentle Parenting sounds simple, but real-life moments rarely are.

What happens when gentle parenting meets real life? When emotions run high, boundaries are tested, and we find ourselves wondering, “Am I doing this right?”

These are the very moments Kim DeMarchi has spent over two decades helping parents navigate. Founder of Empowered Parenting since 2002, Kim is a Certified Parent Educator and Family Coach who has supported thousands of parents internationally through her teaching, coaching and parenting podcasts.

Join Flegen and Kim DeMarchi for two thoughtfully designed parenting experiences exploring what gentle parenting really looks like in everyday family life — beyond the ideals, expectations and pressures.
