In honor of First Responders Day, we’re sharing this special episode today (originally recorded on October 23, 2025). This conversation features Peace At Home Parenting founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, and Viana Turcios-Cotto, LCSW—licensed clinical social worker, parent, and proud first responder spouse.
Parenting while serving as a first responder comes with intense pressure, unpredictable schedules, and emotional weight. In this honest and compassionate discussion, Ruth and Viana offer tools to help you parent with connection, confidence, and calm—even when life is anything but calm.
After this episode, you’ll be able to:
- Handle parenting stress with simple, effective tools
- Connect with your children—even on tough days
- Set healthy expectations at home
- Regulate your own stress to model calm for your kids
- Build a resilient, connected family—one small moment at a time
Thank you for listening!
