Welcome back to The Power of Presence, the podcast dedicated to helping parents, caregivers, and support workers build strong, secure relationships through emotional presence and connection.

Parenting is already one of the toughest roles in the world—but it becomes even harder when we’re carrying our own unresolved childhood experiences. Many parents struggle with self-doubt, frustration, or guilt, wondering why certain situations trigger them so deeply.

In this episode, host Jyee Byrne from Wolfpack Support Services explores:

✅ Why some parenting moments feel overwhelming.

✅ How unhealed childhood wounds shape our reactions to our kids.

✅ Breaking negative generational cycles—without blaming the past.

✅ The power of self-compassion in parenting.

✅ How small, intentional changes create a healthier emotional legacy.

💡 Key Takeaways:

✔ Recognize generational cycles – The way we were raised impacts the way we parent.

✔ Shift from reaction to response – Pause and ask: Is this about my child, or is this about my past?

✔ Repair when mistakes happen – Kids don’t need perfect parents, they need parents who model emotional repair.

✔ Practice self-compassion – You don’t need to be perfect, just present.

✔ Create a new parenting legacy – Intentional choices shape the emotional future of your children.

🌟 This Week’s Challenge:

When you feel triggered by your child’s behavior, pause and ask yourself: "Is this about them, or is this something from my past?" That moment of reflection is where healing begins.
