86. Healing from our past with Chantelle Nelson

In a world where parent shaming and blame are all too common, I wanted to sit down with my good friend Chantelle Nelson for an honest conversation about moving beyond blaming our parents for what we did or didn’t receive in childhood.Together, we explore the concept of reparenting—what it means to give ourselves the love, care, and nurturing we may have missed. We discuss the delicate balance between extending compassion to our parents and taking accountability for meeting our own emotional needs as adults. This conversation dives deep into the complexities of childhood experiences, trauma, and the evolving relationships we have with our parents.We share personal stories of reparenting, reflecting on the journey toward emotional healing and integrating the parts of ourselves that feel broken or forgotten.Chantelle Nelson is a Therapeutic Life Coach with an M.A. in Counseling Psychology and trauma certification. She’s also the host of the Own It podcast and someone I’ve had the privilege of calling a dear friend for the past nine years.Connect with Chantelle:Instagram: @chantelleenelsonWebsite: www.comealivelifecoaching.comConnect with Me:Instagram: @ella.hooper__Book a 1:1 Coaching Session: www.ella-hooper.com/life-coachingWatch the full episode on youtube: https://youtu.be/VMi-vvO_7ko
