In this week's episode with my friend, Eli Harwood, we talk about how our unhealed wounds show up in parenting and how healing can change what our kids inherit. We share stories, practical repair language, and why self-compassion and community support matter more than getting everything right. • Monica’s story of divorce, absence, and later healing • Eli’s family experience with mental health support and growth • why it’s never too late to deal with your emotional baggage • cycle breaking through small choices and showing up differently • repair as the difference between hurt and long-term harm • perfectionism as a hidden source of pressure in parent-child bonds • using self-compassion instead of shame to create change • why kids need other trusted adults and a wider support system • how the book’s chapters match real emotions like anxiety and regret • trusting your intuition and trusting your kids Go grab Eli's new book: How to Deal with Your Stuff So Your Kids Don't Have To on Amazon or anywhere books are sold.
