In this episode, Ce sits down with Conscious Living and Parenting Coach, Vibha Arora, to unpack her “Control-Free Parenting” approach—a blend of Positive Discipline and Conscious Parenting that challenges the instinct to manage, correct, and control.
Vibha is clear: this isn’t about being permissive. And it’s definitely not about stepping back and hoping for the best. This is about doing the harder, deeper work: understanding what’s driving your child’s behavior and what’s getting activated inside of you. If you’re parenting a child from difficult beginnings—where control battles, rejection, and dysregulation are part of daily life—this conversation will both stretch you and maybe intrigue you.

From Ce Eshelman:
Are you searching for a community of parents who will get you; who offer an attentive ear and open arms in the worst of times; who give you a standing ovation for the monumentally big "small steps" forward you make with your child? It is so painful to walk the jagged trail of this parenting journey alone and no one is ever alone in the Love Matters Parenting Society Therapeutic Parent Program. You will feel seen, understood, and actually deeply cared for. We know it as "love." The Society is a virtual program for parents of children who experienced trauma and others who support them or work with them professionally. You don't have to wait a minute longer. We are right here waiting for YOU!
