How To Release Generational Trauma As We Prepare For Parenthood Our Wa

We’re digging into how to release generational trauma and prepare for parenting.

Let’s face it: no one has experienced a perfect childhood.

Whether you vow never to repeat how you were parented or you want to model how you were raised to your children.

Getting clear about your intentions as you plan for your family is essential to start immediately.

After all, prepping for a baby isn't just about parental leave, nurseries, and registries.

These deep conversations often unlock hidden fears and blocks you may not have even noticed your subconscious was holding on to.

So, how do we have an honest conversation with our partner about how we want to parent?

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to start a conversation about how you want to parent.
Questions to consider include: How will you handle discipline? How do you want to raise this child? Do you have any triggers from your one childhood you DON'T want to bring forward?
Tools to help with the hard conversations and strategies to assist (i.e. journaling, therapy, EMDR, etc.).
