Do We Believe We Aren’t Good Enough Pare...

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

Do we actually believe we aren’t good enough parents because we weren’t good enough kids?  Were our mistakes punished and pointed out in order to make us feel bad and do we feel bad now when we mess up, chastise ourselves and hold ourselves to unattainable standards like the ones our parents held us to? I believe this could be a big part of the parent shaming cycle that never ends but continues outside of our childhood. Let’s reframe this idea.

 

Having trouble sleeping? I have been using both the Sleep Ez Natural Support capsules and the Aromatherapy Lavender Spray from Botanic Choice to help me relax and let go of the day. Botanic Choice is a trusted brand supplying a wide range of vitamins and supplements. Head over to https://www.botanicchoice.com/ and use code MICHELLE15 to get an exclusive 15% off anything sitewide.

 

Working with individuals and couples is my most favorite work. We dive deeply into the ideas of connection and unravel the struggles of each individual family I work with. It’s a transformational paradigm shift each and every time. I have seen families undergo huge changes that forever impact their relationships. My One on One programs have limited space, so if you're interested click here to find out more. I look forward to working with you.

Working on our own inner hurts and childhood triggers can unravel many of our parenting issues. I do this with journaling and it has helped me work through some icky places in my own past. If you want to try, download my FREE guide: Healing Ourselves Through Journaling
