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 13: How to Set Boundaries Without Shame
Have you ever set a totally reasonable boundary, only to feel the guilt crash in the moment your child pushes back? You’re not alone. In this episode of Parenting Through Connection, I’m getting real about one of the most emotionally loaded parts of parenting: boundaries. Not the rigid rules or one-time lines in the sand we might have grown up with, but boundaries as relational agreements and limits that protect our energy, keep us connected, and help us show up as the parents we want to be. We’ll talk about why setting boundaries often feels so messy, how our nervous system reacts, and what it really takes to hold limits without losing connection.
Tune in to hear about:
- Why boundaries can trigger old patterns, guilt, and nervous system responses and how to work through them.
- The shift from boundaries as punishment to boundaries as connection and safety
- What to do when your child resists a limit and you feel yourself shutting down, snapping, or overexplaining
- The power of repair when things get messy and how it strengthens your relationship.
- How to set limits that reflect your values, protect your energy, and still allow for compassion and flexibility.
- Practical examples of loving boundaries you can start using right away.
Boundaries are never about perfection. They’re about presence, repair, and staying rooted in what matters most to you. If this conversation speaks to you, I invite you to join my free Boundaries Challenge inside my Parenting Membership this August. You’ll get five days of support, plus a live workshop where we can explore these tools together.
