110: Getting Clear On Your Role As A Parent

What is our role as a parent? Are we a support to our children or are we there to control them, making sure they make all the right choices? What does success mean to you in regards to your parenting? BP leads this thought-provoking discussion and addresses these questions and many more. She talks about how to support our children in goals THEY set and, most importantly, how to get over attaching our worth as parents to what our children do or who they are. After listening to this episode, you’ll re-think a lot of your feelings about your worth and success as a parent.
