If you’ve ever felt the weight of your family’s past resting on your shoulders—or wondered how to raise children differently than you were raised—this episode is your permission to break free.

Today’s guest is Martine Shelley, a conscious parenting guide, nervous system educator, and mother of five. She shares powerful insights about healing generational trauma, regulating your emotions, and becoming the kind of parent—and person—you wish you had.

You’ll learn:

• 
  
• What the motherline is and why healing it matters
• 
  
• The role of nervous system regulation in parenting and legacy
• 
  
• How to shift from reactive parenting to conscious, connected leadership

• Why emotional attunement is more powerful than discipline

Whether you’re preparing for motherhood, reparenting yourself, or actively raising children with intention, this conversation will shift the way you view parenting, legacy, and your role in healing what came before you.
