| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spiritually Hungry. |
| 0:10.3 | Today we are so excited to be talking to Hunter Clark Fields about conscious parenting. |
| 0:16.5 | Hunter is the author of the book, Raising Good Humans Every Day, 50 Simple Ways to Press Pause, |
| 0:22.0 | Stay Present, and Connect with Your Kids. |
| 0:24.7 | Honestly, it's such a gem of a resource. |
| 0:27.3 | In addition, she's the host of the very popular mindful parenting podcast, |
| 0:31.2 | where the conversations are always encouraging. |
