Show Notes
I made a huge parenting mistake recently that sent me into a tailspin of guilt and regret. I felt like I had let my daughter down in a significant and irreversible way… but showing up from a place of regret and guilt over a mistake doesn't have me showing up as my best self. I knew I deserved forgiveness, and my child deserved a mom who showed up from strength and love.
In today's episode I walk you through what happened, and how I was able to overcome the shame spiral by choosing a better thought.
BUT, this episode isn't just for parents. Its for anyone who has ever made a mistake, or done something they regret, or finds themselves arguing with reality and wishing they could change the past… because while I am talking specifically about how I let my daughter down, I'm also talking about how you can offer yourself forgiveness and love WHEN mistakes happen.
I'd love to hear something you're going to work to forgive yourself for, so you can set yourself free.
See you inside💥

In chatting with a client this week, we unpacked an old belief she has about herself and what being successful means. She had it in her head that success looks a certain way, so she is always trying to achieve more, make more, be more. But recently she stopped and asked herself what truly makes her happy- and it wasn't her bank account or title.
This week we have another mailbag situation. The specifics of this are around political differences within a family, and how to move through them… but the overall takeaway from this podcast is how to navigate when people do things differently than you and you find yourself judging them because of it.
One of my fave topics! This comes up so frequently in my coaching and mentoring sessions: "I feel like I am made of more but I am paralyzed by fear." Cool. Welcome to being human.
Sometimes parenting is about parenting. And sometimes parenting is about re-parenting ourselves.
Today you get part two of my conversation with Raina, where we dive into what has happened since she finished writing her book, Bare.
