Happier Summer Series Part 3: The Practice of Being a Present Parent & Choosing to Get off the Struggle Bus with Melanie Stefanovic
Monday, 15 June, 2026

Most of us think we'll feel happier when life settles down.When the house is clean.When the kids are cooperating.When work slows down.When we finally get caught up.Resources Mentioned 📘The Spiritual Child by Dr. Lisa Miller 💜Cocoplum Nature School But what if happiness has nothing to do with any of that?In this episode of the Happier Series, I sit down with Melanie Stefanovic, co-founder of Coco Plum Nature School, to explore what it really means to cultivate peace from the inside out.Together, we talk about the season she affectionately calls the "struggle caravan," how parenting became the mirror that revealed her own lack of inner peace, and the simple practices that helped her move from overwhelm to contentment. We explore presence, self-trust, mindfulness, and the surprising power of turning everyday routines into meaningful rituals.One of my favorite takeaways? Happiness isn't about creating perfect circumstances.It's about learning to be fully present in the life that's already here.In this episode, we discuss:• Why parenting often becomes our greatest personal growth journey• The difference between happiness, joy, and contentment• How children mirror what's happening inside of us• Why presence matters more than perfection• The simple nightly ritual that transformed Melanie's wellbeing• How daily rituals can help us feel calmer, grounded, and more connected• What it means to stop waiting for life to calm down and start living nowIf you've ever found yourself thinking, "I'll be happy when..." this conversation is a gentle invitation to consider another possibility:What if peace was available right here, in this moment?🪷Rise & Flourish LIVE | Delray Beach, FL | Sat. 9-26 | Learn More & Reserve Your Spot Yoto Player | Screen Free Fun for KidsSummertime screen audio player.
