If you struggle with shame and are trying not to pass it on to your children, this is the episode for you! This week I chat with therapist, Maggie Nick LCSW about her experience as a "good girl" the shame that came with that and how this led her on a quest to reparent herself and teach other parents how to break the cycle with their children. In this episode we share about our own shame experiences, how this led to addictions and our eventual recovery and what you can do as a parent to heal your stuff so you don't pass it on. This episode is packed with info but also vulnerability and laughs. Enjoy.
