Ep 9: Raising Kids Without Fear: How Faith, Science & Connection Work Together with Therapist Meaghan Hampton
Description
What would parenting look like if fear wasn’t running the show? Therapist Meaghan Hampton joins Ashleigh to talk about how faith and psychology beautifully overlap—helping parents shift from fear-based obedience to connection, co-regulation, and grace.
Together they explore what it means to raise kids from a place of calm and curiosity instead of control, the difference between disobedience and dysregulation, and why the heart of Christ offers a gentler, more grounded lens for parenting.
You’ll walk away with language for repair after you lose it, practical nervous system tools (like orienting and breath prayer), and permission to let go of the pressure to “get it all right.”
It’s freeing, faith-filled, and deeply relatable—especially for moms who want to hold both truth and tenderness as they lead their families.
