A Chemical Romance Love Story w/Kristin Way

For this year's Valentine's episode, Dr. Kim is talking with Kristin Way. Kristin Way is a California native whose love for music took her down a career path she never anticipated when she landed a marketing job in the music industry. After years of learning the business, her heart was again captured by the music industry, only this time by falling in love with a bass player.

Kristin's life path took a turn again when her and her now husband decided to start a family. It was a no-brainer that she would happily take on the role of a stay at home mother to two daughters. Kristin dove headfirst into homeschooling this year so their family could join her husband on the road. She is a Disney enthusiast, an avid Harry Potter fan and quite the bookworm. During Covid, she even started an online book club with one of her four sisters. It has become one of her biggest hobbies along with hitting up any theme park she is ever near!

How to Consciously Parent and Honor Children

Bryana Kappadakunnel is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, an Infant-Family Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist, and a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist-Certified. She earned her Conscious Parenting coaching credential from Dr. Shefali’s Conscious Parenting Institute.

Since 2011, Bryana has worked exclusively with families with very young children to navigate challenges related to child development, behavioral and emotional issues, attachment problems, family dysfunction, poor boundaries, discipline challenges, and trauma.

Guided by attachment theory and the neurorelational framework, her approach is unique in that she works primarily with parents by helping them discover their child’s nervous system and developmental needs. In this process, parents also learn about their nervous system, and the ways it supports - and sometimes conflicts - with their child’s. She also guides parents to develop vital skills in self-reflection & deconstructing familial cycles of guilt and shame, which aims to drastically shift the child-parent relational patterns.

Bryana has a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, has been licensed since 2015, and has an extensive number of advanced certifications & specializations in perinatal, infant, and early childhood mental health as well as conscious parenting. She also has 2 children.
