Ep 49: How Aireen’s Breaking Generational Cycles & Transforming Parenting Triggers with Her Daughter

“And I know that whenever we talk about parenting, it’s easy to make comparison with thoughts like “oh, I didn’t do that thing Aireen described with my child.” And I invite you to turn that comparison into a celebration of the many ways we love our children and this love can be expressed in so many unique ways.”

 
 

Episode Summary:

In this episode, you’ll hear about Aireen’s healing journey and how she puts the social justice parenting and inner child re-parenting ideas that we discuss in our podcast into action…most of the time. In our conversation, you’ll hear us talk about how Aireen was working with her parenting triggers to get unstuck from yelling at her little one. You’ll hear about some of the body-based strategies she and her child used together too.

Special note: I’m taking a season break until late March.
