Parents don’t snap for one reason — they snap because stress builds faster than awareness. The Reflective Parenting Podcast , hosted by neuroscientist and mom of three Dr. Cindy Hovington, helps parents understand what’s happening inside them before they snap and why recognizing it sooner is the key to change. Through personal reflections and conversations with clinicians and experts, the podcast explores why parenting feels so intense, why insight often disappears under stress, and what it means to become a reflective parent. A reflective parent isn’t perfect or calm all the time. They notice sooner, recover faster, and slowly build more trust in how they show up — even on hard days. This podcast is your invitation to pause, reflect, and feel less alone. New episodes weekly. Join the private group on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/reflectiveparentingpodc
