Today’s chat is with Eloise, who is just the perfect example of running a business that completely revolves around what matters to you. In this interview we discuss why her peaceful parenting blog, coaching and community is so important to her, how she hopes it can change the world (and not just for the parents she works with), how she sets boundaries around her work when it’s so closely tied into her family life, and the importance of kindness and non-judgement in everything she does. Whether you’re a parent or not, I think you’ll find Eloise’s story really interesting.
"Although it started as a personal interest in wanting to find the best way to raise our daughter for our family, I feel like my work is social justice work rather than anything else."
