This week on Sense by Meg Faure, we are joined by the incredible parenting coach Ayanda Tetyana for a deep and inspiring conversation on intentional parenting. Ayanda argues that to raise resilient, respectful, and confident children, we must first look at ourselves. She introduces her powerful "Parenting Mirror" concept, a tool for self-reflection that helps parents understand how their own upbringing shapes their current parenting style.

Key discussion points include:

• The Power of Intentionality: Moving from reactive parenting to a conscious, value-driven approach.
• Future-Focused Parenting: Why you should parent the 25-year-old you want to raise, not just manage the 2-year-old in front of you.
• Setting Boundaries with Love: How to establish firm, respectful boundaries around core values like chores and safety, without crushing your child's spirit.
• Hearing Your Child's Voice: The importance of giving children the space to express themselves and why a child "challenging" you can be a sign of healthy development.
• The Parenting Mirror: A practical tool to help you reflect on your past and break free from unhelpful intergenerational patterns.

This episode is a must-listen for any parent who wants to move beyond just surviving and start thriving with intention and purpose.
