The Messy Journey of Mindful Parenting: Raising Kids into Responsible Adults – An Interview with Hunter Clarke-Fields
In this episode of Parenting Wisdom, I sit down with Hunter Clarke-Fields, host of the Mindful Mama Podcast, global speaker, mindfulness meditation teacher, and #1 bestselling author of Raising Good Humans and Raising Good Humans Every Day. Hunter has over 20 years of experience teaching mindfulness and mindful parenting to hundreds of thousands of parents worldwide.
Together, we explore the messy, beautiful journey of mindful parenting—how practicing presence, self-regulation, and awareness not only helps us become calmer parents but also raises children who grow into responsible, compassionate adults.
We discuss:
✨ How mindfulness in parenting enhances our presence and appreciation for everyday moments.
✨ The importance of slowing down, doing less, and having less—and why this benefits both parents and kids.
✨ Why real growth and development happen through free, unsupervised play and the state of flow.
✨ How to balance letting kids be kids while also preparing them to become responsible, contributing adults.
✨ Embracing the messiness of parenting—letting go of perfection and allowing space for real growth.
