Description

Welcome to Leadership Parenting, the podcast for the mom who wants to stop yelling, feel less overwhelmed, and show up as the calm, connected parent she knows she can be: a resilient mom who raises resilient kids. 

Hosted by Leigh Germann, licensed therapist, resilience coach, and mom of five grown children, this show is your weekly guide to building emotional strength, navigating tough moments, and leading your family with confidence. With over 30 years of experience helping thousands of women, Leigh brings you practical tools, compassionate insights, and the science of resilience—so you can feel better, parent smarter, and model strength to your children.

Here, we talk about the real stuff: how to manage stress, anxiety, anger, and self-doubt… without losing yourself in the process. You’ll learn how to care for your mind and body, set healthy boundaries, and rise strong through the challenges of motherhood. Most importantly, you’ll discover how to teach your kids these same life-changing skills so they can grow into confident, capable, and emotionally healthy adults.

If you're ready to be a better mom without trying harder- you're in the right place.

Resilient moms raise resilient kids—and Leadership Parenting shows you how. Hit subscribe, and let’s walk this path together.
