The Science Behind Why Your Nervous System Is Destroying Your Kids (Without Knowing It)
Most parents aren't struggling because they don't care enough. They're struggling because they care too much and their nervous system is running on empty.
In this episode, Adam sits down with Hunter Clark-Fields, mindful parenting expert and host of the Mindful Mama Podcast, to talk about what "good enough" parenting actually looks like and why perfection would be the worst thing for your kids.
➡️ Why mom guilt is a sign of love and how it quietly damages your kids
➡️ What attachment research actually says about "good enough" (hint: it's shockingly low)
➡️ How your nervous system sets the temperature for the whole house
➡️ The real difference between teenage rebellion and healthy differentiation
➡️ Why "do as I say, not as I do" is a relationship-ender with your teenager
➡️ The 3-part communication tool from Plum Village that opens even the hardest conversations
➡️ Why self-care isn't selfish it's literally child care
➡️ How to ask your co-parent for help when no one taught you how
