The Motherload

#4 : Becoming the Parent You Needed


Listen Later

Parenting is hard, period. But when you grew up in a home that didn’t feel safe, stable, or emotionally supportive? That adds a whole other layer. In this episode, we’re digging into what it looks like to parent when you’re still healing from your own childhood. We’re talking about the guilt, the pressure to “do better,” and how sometimes, we still get it wrong even when we’re trying so hard to get it right.

In this episode, Carolanne and Kelly get honest about the power of apologizing to your kids, showing them what accountability looks like, and creating a space where love is always the bottom line - even on the hard days. Because being real with your kids doesn’t make you weak. It makes you trustworthy.

This is an episode for every parent who’s trying to rewrite the script. For every parent who’s trying to show up for their kids in a way they never had growing up. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that being a “good” parent doesn’t mean being perfect. It means loving your kids enough to keep trying.
