Are you exhausted from trying gentle parenting techniques that just don't stick? If you've read all the books, learned the scripts, but still find yourself yelling at your kids when you're stressed or running late, this episode is for you.

In this raw and honest conversation, I break down the 3 most common reasons why gentle parenting fails - and spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with your kids or needing better techniques.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why you can't execute gentle parenting scripts when you're triggered (and what to focus on instead)
• The difference between healthy boundaries and punishment - and why most of us never learned this
• How generational trauma shows up in your parenting moments and keeps you stuck in old patterns
• Why healing your own childhood wounds is the key to becoming the calm, grounded parent you want to be

This episode is perfect for you if:

• You believe in connection-based parenting but struggle to stay calm when your kids push your buttons
• You find yourself turning into your own parents when stressed, even though you swore you'd do things differently
• You're tired of feeling guilty about yelling and want to break the cycle for good

Remember: You're an amazing mom. It's not your fault that gentle parenting hasn't worked yet - you just need to start in the right place. And that place is YOU.

Ready to heal your generational trauma and become the parent you've always wanted to be? This episode will show you exactly where to start.
