As a mom and stepmom to four children—ranging from a young adult to a tween—mindset and empowerment coach CJ Stasik knows parents are going through it. But she’s also experienced her own parenting evolution, disrupting cycles that strained her relationship with her older child to now create positive, lasting connections with both of her children. Today on the Mama Mode podcast, CJ and Emily sit down to discuss the generational cycles we perpetuate, their impact on ourselves and families, and her belief that it’s never too late to change course and find a better way forward. Press play to hear more about how CJ, founder of coaching and speaking platform SheHandlesIt, helps clients through personal and professional transitions and what it looks like to do the inner work of understanding feelings, forming connections, and creating healthier patterns for ourselves and our children.
