Episode 8: Exploring Our Childhood to Understand How We Parent

In this episode, Angela and Morgan explore the meaty and intimidating subject of understanding the why behind our parenting actions and choices. Using Dr. Shefali Tsabary's book, The Awakened Family as a basis for the conversation, we dig into how the ego (or the delusion that it is often predicated on) and our fears, often developed in early childhood, deeply influence our parenting and general existence as an adult. From the fear of being unloved to the fear of saying yes to the fear of being unhappy or unworthy, Morgan and Angela share their own personal experiences and stories that they have uncovered since becoming parents.  Yet, there is hope. While understanding the root is helpful, it doesn't always lead to lasting behaviour change. To support change, Angela and Morgan provide a few gentle strategies that they continue to test and struggle with to help bring self-compassion and space to their stories. And with that space and gentle care, they are slowly starting to experience the change they wish to see and be. Join Angela and Morgan in this engaging, challenging, and real conversation about the why behind our actions and what to do about it.
