Podcast:More than Milestones Published On: Tue Mar 17 2026 Description: Creating a peaceful home doesn’t come from perfect parenting; it comes from practicing presence, compassion, and intention. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Hanaa Ghannoum, parenting coach, mom of three, and founder of Peace Within Home. With a PhD in early childhood and curriculum studies, Dr. Hanaa helps parents raise their children with calm, confidence, and connection while also doing the inner work of re-raising themselves along the way. Our conversation explores what it really means to create a safe and peaceful home, how to approach sibling conflict in a healthy way, and how we can guide our children in building strong, meaningful friendships.
