Hi! I'm Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host, and today's Well Source is Jenn Wert. Jen has been an educator in Colorado for decades. She is a devoted parent, speaker, mentor of young teachers, writer and seeker. She has a Master’s in Education, teacher’s lens, doula’s experience, and extensive post-graduate social and emotional intelligence training.  Jenn has run both for-profit and non-profit businesses built around empowering families and self-expression.

Jenn knows how to counsel parents who want to do their best by their children. She believes in not being committed not to perfection, but to a presence of mind. She has done her own deep personal work, which has allowed her to discern what really matters - authenticity, humility, and connection. As a coach, she weaves these attributes of consciousness together for families to help create parenting that’s honest, nurturing and transformative. 

In this podcast, we talk about:

• Being attuned to highly emotional children.
• The importance of connection, communication, and advocacy in parenting.
• Healing your own childhood
• Practicing self-awareness
• Being mindful of acceptance, curiosity, separation, and healthy boundaries.
• the connection between shame and vulnerability.
• Bringing social emotional learning to your parenting.
