Key Quotes

10:25  Many of our expectations aren't truly our own; they're the ‘should's' of others. The moment we start 'shoulding' ourselves is when we begin to live by someone else's rules.

14:13  Sometimes my kids are not going to listen to me and that’s okay,  I have to respect their needs and allow them to do what feels right for them at that moment, in alignment with their own energy.

18:15  Healing your own wound is the secret to more peace and enjoy more your parenting.

18:55  Our responses to our children are often influenced by our own lens of trauma, conditioning, and beliefs. Sometimes, we fail to see our children as the sovereign beings they are, and we don't trust or treat them as equals.

19:38  Through our children, we have the opportunity to heal and break generational trauma. However, the journey must start with us, and we need to be willing to heal our own wounds.

24:07  Take a moment to explore why you show up as a mom and do the things you do. With so many responsibilities, you don't need to constantly entertain your children. It's okay to let them entertain themselves and be okay to spend a relaxing day at home.

28:16  My children are my greatest teachers, and I am theirs. By being present and seeing them for who they are, they've shown me how to slow down, play, and find joy in life's simple pleasures.

30:11  Until we become aware of our unconscious thoughts and behaviours , we can't fully show up as the person or parent we were meant to be.
