Hey there, Brave Table fam! In this episode, we’re diving deep into the heart of parenting—where the chaos, meltdowns, and magical mess of emotions reside. Join me as we explore the ups and downs of being a parent, especially when the going gets tough, and our kiddos test every bit of patience we have! Today, I’m sharing real and transformative tools to help you stay grounded and create emotional safety—for you and your kids. Discover how to break old parenting patterns, allow kids their full expression, and practice new ways of handling those “big emotions” that show up for everyone in the family. This journey isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress and showing up as a model for our kids to feel seen, heard, and safe. Let’s grow together, embrace the wild ride of parenting, and learn to savor the chaos along the way.
