Parenting Through Connection with Megan
Welcome to “Parenting Through Connection” with Megan Lachance, a podcast where we dive into the real struggles and complexities of parenting with honesty, hope, and practical strategies. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of raising kids while juggling life’s demands, you're not alone.
Each episode explores both sides of the parenting journey: managing stress and societal expectations, and building strong, meaningful relationships with your children. We’ll talk about the tough stuff; the things people don’t want to talk about or try to hide yet everyone experiences, the moments of feeling stuck and the times when parenting doesn’t feel like the dream you imagined…the ‘hidden’ parts of parenting that results in yelling, anger & sometimes even rage. Through relatable stories, mini coaching sessions, and actionable tips, Megan will help you break through the barriers that keep you feeling stuck, offering support and encouragement to help you find balance.
Parenting doesn’t have to be a daily struggle. Let’s normalize the challenges, let go of shame, and discover ways to enjoy the journey while strengthening your connection with your kids. So tune into “Parenting Through Connection” for a dose of hope, real talk, and the support you need to thrive as a parent.

Episode 5: How to Get Your Kids to Listen
One of the most common struggles I hear from parents (and have faced myself!) is getting kids to actually listen. Instead of pushing for louder voices or stricter rules, let’s flip the script. Today on Parenting Through Connection, we’re getting into the reasons why kids really tune us out, and what we can do to change it. If you’re ready for fewer battles and more connection, keep listening!
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why our kids sometimes seem to tune us out, even when we’re repeating ourselves and trying our best.
- The subtle, everyday communication habits that are actually working against us.
- The six most common barriers to connection and what they’re teaching our kids.
- The simple, powerful moments that start to rebuild trust and cooperation.
- A personal story about my own mindset shift.
Thanks for joining me for this episode! Remember, we’re not aiming for perfection here, just awareness, intention, and small shifts that lead to real change. These moments of reflection matter more than you know. If you learnt something from this episode, it would mean so much if you subscribed, left a review, or shared it with a fellow parent who could benefit from listening.
