How I Learned to Forgive Myself When I M...

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

I began parenting with the idea of being the perfectly attached mom. But what none of the books told me was how to respond to my children when things were hard, when strong wills were introduced and kids said no. I resorted to yelling and that yelling led me to self-loathing which created a cycle I could not stop until I found connective parenting. Come along on my journey today of self-love and forgiveness and find out how this ultimately benefited my sweet girls. 

Have you ever felt alone in your parenting, as if you were the only one struggling? I know I have been there and finding like-minded individuals has helped me navigate the murky waters of parenting with intention and peace. For this reason, I have created the Peace and Parenting community, and right now you can be part of our new membership. Each week I will be providing you with parenting strategies. I will host three live Q&A’s every month and supply you with lessons, PDFs and support materials and you'll be part of my exclusive online community. To find out more head to peaceandparentingla.com/membership and get all the details. I look forward to seeing you live!
