EP 83:The Ghost in the Nursery — Are You Parenting Your Child or Your Past?


Listen Later

In this deeply moving episode, Sharanya V explores the unseen emotional inheritance that shapes the way we parent. She reveals how unresolved childhood wounds resurface during tantrums, bedtime battles, and moments of overwhelm — and how recognizing those “ghosts” allows you to break intergenerational cycles of fear, shame, and silence.

💔 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your strongest parenting triggers have roots in your own childhood. How your nervous system time-travels to old emotional memories. The link between your amygdala and reactivity under stress. How to turn your triggers into healing opportunities. A grounding mantra to stop emotional spirals mid-moment.

💡 Sharanya’s Takeaway: “Your child isn’t triggering you — your past is. Every time you repair instead of react, you’re healing both of you.”

🧠 Try This Week: When you’re triggered, whisper to yourself: “This feeling is old.” It helps your brain return to the present moment and choose connection over control.

🎧 Listen if: You find yourself overreacting to your child’s behavior. You feel guilty after yelling or snapping. You want to understand how your childhood affects your parenting.
