I Broke a Generational Pattern With My Son

Last night, something happened with my son that I'll never forget.

What started as tears over something seemingly small turned into one of the most healing moments I've ever experienced as a mother.

Not just for him.

For me.

As someone who grew up with trauma, I realised in that moment I wasn't just parenting my son. I was re-parenting the little girl inside of me who never had someone help her process her emotions.

It reminded me that every therapy session, every difficult conversation, every tear, every breakthrough and every piece of healing work I've done over the years wasn't just changing my life.

It was changing the way my children experience theirs.

If you're a parent, or you're doing the work to heal from your own childhood, I hope this episode reminds you that your healing matters more than you know.

In this episode:

• the emotional moment that completely shifted the way I saw my own healing

• why regulating your nervous system is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children

• how breaking generational patterns happens in everyday parenting moments
