How to Raise Self-Aware Kids: Emotional Intelligence & Reflective Parenting in Action

In this episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I chat with my friend Alyssa—a school psychologist and mom of 2 school-aged kids—about the messy, beautiful reality of raising children who are self-aware and internally motivated when it comes to wellness.

Alyssa shares how she uses reflective parenting and emotional intelligence in both her work and her family life. From asking reflective questions that help kids identify their feelings, to modeling self-awareness herself, Alyssa offers practical tools for creating safe spaces, honoring children’s needs, and supporting them in making choices that feel right for them.


We also talk about the unique dynamics of bicultural family life, conflict resolution with compassion, and why teaching kids to trust their own inner wisdom is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.


This conversation is packed with insights for parents who want to raise kind, conscious kids while also deepening their own self-awareness along the way. 🌿

About the Podcast

Wildly Well Mamas
Authentic Conversations & Soulful Support
This is a space for mindful mamas committed to living their best lives while raising kids to thrive. The ones setting boundaries, breaking generational patterns, making learning a lifestyle, and raising their kids with intention—even when it feels messy or misunderstood.


I’m Jamie—a mama, wellness coach, and cancer survivor—here to share what I’m learning and have the conversations I wish more moms were having. In each episode, you’ll hear either a journal-style solo from me or a raw, inspiring interview with another mom on the wellness train.


We’ll talk about supporting our bodies through movement, nourishment, rest, and rhythm; regulating our nervous systems, ditching diet culture, living cyclically, raising conscious kids, and coming home to ourselves—over and over again.
No shame. No shoulds. Just stories, insights, and reminders that you’re not doing this alone.


Because when moms feel grounded, inspired, and wildly well—everybody benefits. 🫶
