Boob to Food - The Podcast 80 - Intimacy and the 5 love languages with Lael Stone
Are you looking to deepen your connection with your partner or foster a loving environment for your children? If there is a guest who can set you on the right path, it is Lael Stone.
In this always enlightening conversation with Lael, we delve into the intricacies of the 5 Love Languages, a concept introduced by Dr. Gary Chapman that has transformed how we understand and express love. Whether you're familiar with the love languages or hearing about them for the first time, Lael's insights will provide you with practical tools to enhance your relationships with your partner, children, and family.
If you haven’t already listened to episode 3 with Lael on raising resilient and compassionate children, we highly recommend you do (it is our most popular episode for a reason!). Lael is an educator, TEDx speaker, author, mother, and parenting counsellor who has been working with families for over 20 years. Her work as a birth educator, post-natal trauma counselor, and parenting educator has seen her work with thousands of families consulting about newborns all the way to the teen years. And probably most importantly - she is a wife and mother of three big kids - who are teenagers and young adults and she is currently putting all her research into practice with them!
You can connect with Lael on Instagram and Facebook as well as her new offering Motheration
