Ever feel like you have a "dark side" that comes out when you yell at your kids?
I used to think my mommy tantrums were proof I was broken. That if people saw this side of me, they'd run away. I'd end up alone.
And I realized I felt that way even before I became a mom. Always hiding or changing who I was, to make people like me.
But guess what? There is no dark side.
In this episode, I share the truth that changed everything for me:

What if those mommy tantrums and your strong emotions in general aren't evidence of your failure, but signals from unhealed parts of yourself desperate to be integrated?

In this episode, I reveal:

Why your "worst" parenting moments are actually generational healing trying to happen
How to recognize when your inner child—not your adult self—is reacting to your kids (or adults)
The liberating truth that transforms shame into healing opportunity
What becomes possible when you integrate these wounded parts instead of hiding them

If you've ever looked at yourself after yelling at your kids and thought, "Who is this monster?", this episode will change how you see yourself forever.

This isn't just about becoming a calmer parent. It's about becoming whole by reclaiming the parts of yourself you've been taught to reject.
