“The best measure of your parenting is your child’s happiness.”

—  Allison Villa

Have you ever stopped to think about what lessons you have learned in parenthood? 

Recently, I’ve celebrated a huge milestone in my life; 10 years of motherhood. 

In today’s episode of Couplehood, I took some time to reflect on what I’ve learned in my 10 years of parenting and what I would tell myself 10 years ago when I began my motherhood journey. 

As you listen, I encourage you to reflect on your own parenting journey and write down the lessons that you’ve learned along the way.

I find it helpful to find compassion for my younger self, as a new mother, and I hope that you share that grace with yourself as well.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of Couplehood,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌

• What the true measure of your parenting is
• How your childhood plays a role in your children’s childhood
• What to do when you make a mistake as a parent
• How important your relationships with your partner and your friends are in your parenthood journey 

“Our children are our mirrors and they reflect our own inner-child wounds that may still need healing. Let your children be your guide to keep going inwards and understanding yourself.”
