Congruent with Lisa Carpenter | The truth beneath success. Why it never feels like enough.

You’ll Spend Anything on Your Kids But Won’t Invest in the One Thing They Actually Need From You


Listen Later

Are you an overwhelmed parent who's tired of yelling at your kids? Do you find yourself losing it with your children, then feeling guilty about your parenting afterward? If you're a high-achieving mom or dad struggling with parenting anxiety, constant overwhelm, and the exhausting cycle of trying to control everything, this episode is for you.

In today's deeply personal episode, I share the real story of how doing my own healing work completely transformed how I show up as a parent, and how it's breaking generational trauma for my children.


What You'll Learn:

  • Why "good parents" still lose it with their kids (and what's really happening beneath the surface)

  • The hidden cost of perfectionist parenting and how it damages both you and your children

  • How emotional safety actually works in parenting (it's not what most parents think)

  • Why your kids' anxiety isn't really about anxiety - and what it's actually telling you

  • The one investment that changes everything for your family's emotional health

  • How breaking generational patterns happens through YOUR healing, not your children's behavior


  • Perfect for Parents Who:

    • Feel like they're always yelling despite wanting to be calm

  • Struggle with mom guilt or dad guilt about their parenting

  • Are overwhelmed by daily parenting challenges

  • Want to stop repeating their parents' mistakes but don't know how

  • Are high-achievers who can't seem to "achieve" at parenting

  • Feel anxious about their children's emotional well-being

  • Are tired of walking on eggshells around their kids' big emotions


  • Featured Story:

    I share the raw, real moment when my 14-year-old son Jake dropped his brand-new phone in the river, and how our response became a powerful example of generational healing in action. You'll hear exactly what we did differently (and what we used to do wrong) that's creating emotional safety for our kids.


    The Investment Truth:

    Why parents will spend thousands on tutoring, sports, and schools but resist investing in the inner work that actually gives their children emotional security, self-compassion, and healthy relationships with themselves.


    If you're ready to stop the cycle of overwhelm and create the emotionally safe family environment your children actually need, this episode will show you exactly where to start, and why the work begins with you.
