Why do so many parents struggle with guilt when it comes to taking care of themselves? And how does a parent’s emotional wellbeing impact their children? In this episode of The Parent Thing, Tarryn Bovia sits down with Shruti Trivedi, founder and CEO of TulsiHeals Life Coaching. Shruti works with working professionals and mothers to help them release the guilt around self-care and prioritize their emotional wellbeing, especially during difficult seasons like grief, stress, and loss. Together, they explore the powerful connection between parental self-care, emotional regulation, and children’s behavior. When parents are overwhelmed or emotionally depleted, it can affect how they respond to their children in challenging moments. Understanding this connection can be a game changer for families. This conversation dives into practical ways parents can support their own nervous systems, navigate guilt around self-care, and create calmer, more emotionally connected homes. Tarryn also shares how understanding what happens in a child’s brain when they are yelled at can completely shift how parents approach discipline and emotional moments. If you want to become a more regulated parent and better understand your child’s behavior, this episode is for you. 🎧 Sign up for the live webinar on March 28th 2026: https://linktr.ee/theparentthing Follow for more parenting insights: Instagram & TikTok: @theparentthing Support the podcast: https://mc.buymeacoffee.com/links/CYEkElsIAFgPbehBXIwPcu
