Show Notes:

In this episode, we explore how shame and attachment to external validation drain us. Drawing from Brené Brown’s shame resilience research, Buddhist philosophy on detachment, and Kristin Neff’s self-compassion work, we unpack practical strategies to shift from “attachment energy” to “trust energy.” Listeners will learn to recognize shame’s physical warning signs, reframe comparison traps, and cultivate a family culture where mistakes spark growth. We reveal how small, daily practices like “Oops Parties” and mindful pauses can rebuild authentic connections. Perfect for parents seeking mental wellness tools that stick.

Enjoy!

Quotes:

Pema Chödrön says: "We already have everything we need. There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips that we lay on ourselves—the heavy-duty fearing that we're bad and hoping that we're good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy and the addictions of all kinds—never touch our basic wealth."

Dr. Gabor Maté offers this insight: "Children don't need perfect parents. They need parents who can say 'I'm lost too — let's find the map together'."

Kristin Neff, a pioneer in self-compassion research, states: "With self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness and care we'd give to a good friend."
