Parenting is more than managing behaviors or getting through the day—it’s a profound invitation to heal. In this episode, I'm explaining the cyclical process of healing through the lens of parenting, guiding you through three core stages: awareness, healing, and transformation.

You’ll learn:

• What real awareness looks like (and how it often shows up through our children)

• What the “work” of healing really involves—from nervous system regulation to parts work and inner child care

• How transformation unfolds in everyday parenting moments

• Why this process is not a luxury, but a necessity for raising emotionally healthy, connected children

This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t linear, and it’s not about perfection—it’s about presence, growth, and choice.

Whether you’re in the thick of awareness, navigating the messy middle of healing, or beginning to taste the fruits of transformation, this episode will meet you where you are—and offer tools, insight, and encouragement for the road ahead.

This week, I'm sitting down with Rachel - a real client and parent! She shares her journey through the messy, transformative work of healing — and what it really looks like to grow alongside your child.

You’ll hear about:

• What led her to seek support in the first place

• How coaching is shifting her patterns and perspective

• The impact of this inner work on her relationship with her children, partner, and self

• The myths she is learning to release — especially around being the “good parent”

• And the honest, vulnerable moments that are changing everything!

Whether you're deep in your own healing, feeling stuck in survival mode, or just curious about what parent coaching can really offer, this episode is a window into what’s possible when we stop trying to be perfect… and start getting real.

This is a real, raw, honest conversation (the audio isn't great - sorry about that!), and one I know will leave you feeling hopeful in the power this work can have in your life.

In this episode of The Parenting Lab, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most damaging — and invisible — beliefs so many of us carry: the myth of the “good parent.”

We’ll explore where this ideal comes from, how it quietly impacts our self-worth, our relationships, and our mental health — and most importantly, how we can begin to let it go.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough… if you’re tired of performing, comparing, or second-guessing yourself… this episode is for you.

We’ll talk about what it means to trade perfection for presence, and performance for connection — and I’ll share 5 powerful strategies to help you shift the story, redefine success, and start parenting from a place of honesty, compassion, and growth.

Because you don’t need to be a “good parent” — you just need to be a real one.
