## Resource

Many parents reach a moment where they hear themselves saying something they swore they'd never say, or react in a way that feels painfully familiar. In this episode, we explore the long-term effects of growing up with emotionally immature parents and why awareness alone isn't enough to break generational patterns. We explain how unresolved childhood wounds are often activated by our children's behavior, and offer three powerful practices to help parents heal themselves while raising their children differently. If you've ever wondered why parenting can feel like it exposes every unhealed part of you, this episode will help you understand why, and show you where the work begins. Feeling called to bring this work to other parents? Our Coaching Certification Program trains you to do exactly that. DM me CERTIFICATION on Instagram for details.
