EP75: Am I just becoming my parents?

You love your children. You want to raise them with patience, respect, presence. But sometimes, despite your best intentions — you snap, you shut down, you feel ashamed. And you wonder…

“Why does this feel so hard?” In this episode, I dive deep into a truth so many of us live but never name: 👉🏽 Parenting gets harder when you haven’t healed from the way you were parented. Whether it was emotional neglect, perfectionism, enmeshment, or just feeling unseen as a child — those early imprints don’t disappear when we become parents. They show up in our tone, our triggers, our guilt, and even our silence.

You’ll hear:

• How your nervous system was wired by your own upbringing

• The emotional inheritance we carry — even when we swore we’d do things differently

• The difference between conscious parenting and “over-corrective” parenting

• What to do when you recognize your parent’s voice coming out of your own mouth

• Simple ways to disrupt old patterns and show up with more choice, not just reaction

• And a powerful reminder — you are not broken, you are just healing in real time.

This episode is honest. It’s soft and confronting at the same time. And it’s for any parent who’s ever felt like, “I’m trying so hard not to pass it on… but I’m scared I already have.”
