34. Reparenting Ourselves While Parenting Our Children
It’s been said we’re the first generation reparenting ourselves at the same time we’re parenting our kids.
Becoming a dad didn’t just change my schedule. It exposed parts of me I didn’t know were still running the show. A wounded inner child is desperately in need of a loving parent. My parents did their absolute best, but just didn’t have the tools and skills we have today to allow for feelings and set healthy boundaries without shame. I discovered it isn’t just my child who needs that support, but my inner child needs it as well!
This conversation made fatherhood feel less like guesswork and more like something you can lead with intention.
In this episode, we explore:
How do dads recognize when they are parenting from old conditioning?
What does reparenting ourselves look like in everyday moments?
How can we pause instead of reacting when emotions spike?
What does repair actually look like after you mess up?
How do we permanently heal our past childhood traumas?
How can we develop an active relationship with our inner child while parenting and working?
