Welcome back to the UNtriggered Parenting Podcast.

When your children grow up secure — able to say no, speak up, rest, and feel safe being themselves — it’s everything you wanted for them. But sometimes, their freedom also reminds you of what you didn’t have.

In this episode of Untriggered Parenting, Paula explores the bittersweet emotions that come with raising emotionally secure kids when you weren’t raised that way yourself. We’ll talk about the quiet grief behind healing, why mixed emotions don’t mean you’re failing, and how to turn comparison into compassion for your inner child.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m happy my kids have this… but why does it still hurt?” — this episode will help you understand why, and remind you that your child’s peace is proof of your healing.

✨ In this episode:

• The hidden grief of raising secure children
• How to sit with mixed emotions without shame
• Reframing guilt as evidence of generational healing
• Simple reflection prompts to bring compassion back to your story

🎧 Listen now and share it with another healing parent who needs to hear: you are the bridge — and you are doing beautifully.

Welcome back to the UNtriggered Parenting Podcast.

In this episode, Paula Sampson-Lawrence sits down with parent mentor Abi Clarke to explore a radical but deeply human idea: that one of the most powerful ways to combat the children’s mental health crisis is by trusting them to pursue their passions—while we stand as their guides, not their controllers.

Together we discuss:

• Why trusting children with their own passions strengthens their mental health
• The difference between guiding and controlling in everyday parenting
• How to create a safe environment at home that encourages curiosity and self-discovery
• Common fears and limiting beliefs parents carry—and how to unlearn them
• What the future could look like if more parents embraced this approach

Let’s dive in!

About Abi

I am an ex teacher, Montessori nursery manager and mum of 2 kiddos. My eldest child has suspected neurodivergence and so do I! I left teaching completely alienated from education and stumbled into a job in a Montessori nursery. I fell in love. Trusting children, involving them in real life and following them was just a breath of fresh air and I'm forever grateful that I found it ❤️ I'm now a parent mentor helping parents to learn at home with their kids in a fun, easy way that never feels like hard work.

Welcome back to the UNtriggered Parenting Podcast.

In today's video, I’m unpacking the issue of adultification bias—where Black girls are unfairly treated as older, more responsible, and less innocent than their peers.

We’ll cover:
✅ What adultification bias actually is
✅ How it shows up in parenting habits
✅ The real impact on Black girls’ mental health and self-esteem
✅ What parents can do to protect and empower their daughters

This conversation isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness, growth, and breaking cycles.

If you’re a parent raising Black girls—or work with young Black girls in any setting—this episode is for you.

Welcome back to the UNtriggered Parenting Podcast.

Have you ever snapped at your child and thought, “Why did I just react like that?”

You’re not alone — and it’s not just about their behaviour.
It’s often about YOUR unmet needs. The exhaustion. The invisible load. The lack of space to just be.

In this episode of The Untriggered Parenting Podcast, Paula discusses the quiet resentment that builds when your needs go unnoticed – and how it spills out in the way we parent.
