80. Mama Trauma

First off, shout out to you mama for tackling cycle breaking and doing the work. This is NOT easy stuff and I am here to cheer you on.  I think it’s very easy to point the finger to our parents (especially our moms) and say “because of the way she modeled things I am ‘x’” or “the way she did this messed me up.” YES all of that is your experience and 100% valid. I am not taking that away from you. AND, we have choice.  We have a choice in how we choose to move forward with what we’ve experienced in our past. I share in this episode my thoughts on “mama drama” and how we can move forward together and continue to break cycles.  FREE GUIDES!

Om Podcasten

We come to parenting with all the patterns we learned in our own childhood. Together in this podcast, we uncover the roots of our reactivity and grow in education, capacity, awareness, and skills so we will be able to respond vs. react to our strong-willed children. The beauty of this process is as you become a ResponseAble Parent, the “misbehavior” of your children will lessen, the yelling will fall away and a new level of companionship and cooperation will take its place. Welcome to the journey of ResponseAble Parenting. Take a deep breath in, slow exhale out, and let’s get to work.
