The Most Important Lesson I’m Teaching My Kids


Listen Later

We teach our kids how to tie their shoes, say “please,” drive a car, and maybe even how to fish — but how often do we teach them how to love themselves?

In this episode, I’m opening up about why I believe self-love is one of the most important (and overlooked) lessons we can pass on to our kids. This isn’t a one-time talk — it’s a lifelong practice. From building confidence through responsibility to helping them handle failure with compassion, I’m sharing real ways we can model and nurture self-love in our children… and ourselves.

If you’ve ever wondered how to raise confident, grounded kids in a world full of pressure and comparison — this one’s for you.

✨ What You’ll Hear:

  • Why self-love is a foundational life skill
  • How everyday moments shape how kids see themselves
  • The role of failure, frustration, and grace in the learning process
  • Why confidence and responsibility go hand-in-hand
  • How your own self-talk influences your child’s self-image

💬 Favorite Quote: "Loving yourself doesn’t mean you’re perfect. It means you’re kind to yourself, even when you mess up — and our kids need to see that in action."
