The Nest Podcast is bite-sized and easily consumed and is full of actionable advice for moms. It is accompanied by Merrily's newsletter, designed for mindful and compassionate parents, wishing to empower their children to leave the nest successfully, while not losing sight of their own dreams and true selves.  Subscribe here, and receive a free downloadable e-book, Four Pillars of Mindful Parenting.

In this episode, Merrily explains the three most critical strategies for protecting our energy as parents...grounding, clearing, and boundary setting. At each chapter mark, you will find short meditations for each, that you can adapt as your own.
