Listen Later

This is a shorter Podcast than usual. Just because it is shorter does not mean it is less significant. I just wanted to give you a sound byte for thought with your morning coffee.

Forgiveness is something we are taught to extend to others—but what about ourselves? In this episode of Breathe Easy Parenting, I explore how modern parenting pressures, social media, and generational expectations have made self- forgiveness nearly impossible for parents.

We’ll dive into:

  • How previous generations viewed mistakesand forgiveness differently
  • Why parental guilt and burnout are at anall-time high
  • The unrealistic expectations modernparents face
  • How self-forgiveness is the missing pieceto breaking generational cycles
  • Actionable steps to start practicingself-compassion today


If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough or that you’re failing as a parent, this episode is for you. You deserve the same grace you give your children.

🎶 Take a deep breath, lean into connection, and remember: self-forgiveness is a gift you deserve.If this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow parent who needs this reminder!
