You Don’t Need Skills You Need Determina...

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

Many people think that the reason I am the parent I am today is because I was a calm and controlled person to begin with. Well, today I invite you to step into my shoes and explore my tumultuous upbringing, shaped by my parents' alcoholism, partying, and a heart-wrenching divorce. It wasn't an easy path. I embarked on a decade-long journey of personal growth, yet I felt ill-prepared to face my parenting challenges. What I realized is that, no matter where you come from, it's your determination that can lead to transformation.


Join me as I delve into the power of curiosity, the importance of confronting our past wounds and triggers, and the incredible strength that comes from believing in yourself. I'm proof that you don't need special skills – just unwavering determination.
