In this episode, Ava dives into a topic that has been percolating for a while—the philosophy of the "natural parent" and how deeply held beliefs shape not just our parenting but our entire reality.
This isn't just about parenting; it's about the way we form beliefs in natural health, medicine, and beyond—and how those beliefs interact with our nervous system and sense of self.
