In this episode of Rooted & Resilient, host Danielle Zola interviews guest Dani Needham, who shares her powerful journey into conscious parenting. Dani recounts how, as a young adult, she assumed full-time care of her niece and nephew during a family crisis. This experience propelled her into a journey of self-discovery, healing, and ultimately, a deep commitment to conscious parenting. Dani's path led her to become a conscious parent coach, where she now supports others in navigating the challenges of parenting with mindfulness and intention.
The conversation shifts to the crucial role of community in parenting. Dani and Danielle discuss the feelings of isolation and overwhelm that many parents experience, especially in the early years. Dani emphasizes the transformative impact that finding a supportive community has had on her and expresses her deep desire to create the kind of nurturing village she wished she had during her own parenting journey.
Dani then introduces the Rising Rooted Village, a community she co-created to meet the needs of families seeking deeper connection and support. She describes how the village aims to provide a space where parents can meet their own needs while also caring for their children in a communal setting. The episode concludes with a discussion of the challenges and rewards of building this new paradigm of community-centered parenting, as Dani shares her excitement for the future evolution of the village.
