Ever feel like the love, support, or security you needed growing up was just… missing? And now, you’re feeling the effects in your relationships, your self-esteem, or even your ability to create the life you *really* want? If this hits home, don’t worry—you’re not stuck!
This week I’m joined by THE legendary Dr. Dan Siegel, and we’re diving deep into the powerful process of reparenting yourself. Together, we’re going to show you how to rewire your brain for emotional healing, break free from past patterns, and build healthy, fulfilling relationships.
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How childhood experiences shape your adult life (but don’t define it!)
- The healing power of contingent communication in relationships
- Practical strategies like the *Wheel of Awareness* for personal growth
- The importance of presence over perfection in parenting—and in life!
