The 1 Question That Shifts Everything for Anxious Parents with Lisa Taylor

Dr Jodi Richardson is joined by family therapist, educator and author Lisa Taylor for a deeply honest and eye-opening conversation about parenting, anxiety, and the hidden patterns shaping our family lives. After more than 25 years working with families, Lisa shares one powerful truth: it’s not about learning more parenting strategies… it’s about understanding ourselves first. Together, Jodi and Lisa explore how parenting can stir our deepest fears, why our reactions often come from our own childhood “heart prints,” and how shifting from control to connection can transform our relationships with our kids. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why parenting triggers anxiety and big emotional reactions What “heart prints” are—and how they shape your responses The difference between reacting to your child vs responding to them Why behaviour always equals a need How curiosity, courage and connection can change everything The three core emotional needs we all share: to feel seen, heard and loved PLUS, Lisa shares practical ways to pause in the moment, create more emotional “bandwidth,” and move away from the pressure of perfect parenting. This is a powerful reminder that we’re not just raising children—we’re growing ourselves too. 🔗 Connect with Lisa Taylor Website: https://strengtheningfamiliesaustralia.com.au Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisataylor.ou Facebook & LinkedIn: Lisa Taylor   Connect with Dr Jodi Richardson: https://linktr.ee/drjodirichardson?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabqDVAw_zhoG3IXGRhgjn-J14BFJy50ztJbCHywMfZobVH12nX1USMbisI_aem_QViUbKkXHlwbD3y4kGcvGQSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
