Why You’re Set Up To Fail As A Parent

Whether you have children or not,
You’ve had parents.

And despite your best efforts to avoid making the same mistakes,
there’s a reason why we are all set up to fail
and re-create similar disasters.

And none of this is your fault.

We all want to feel a sense of self love and trust when we look in the mirror. We all want to feel calm, at ease, and fully trusting of ourselves
and our ability to handle adversity and challenging emotions.

Without those things👆🏽 life becomes exhausting,
relationships become needy and co-dependent,
and our resulting low sense of self worth causes us to push love and abundance FAR AWAY.

Despite all our efforts to be positive — we still love to beat ourselves up.

The truth is, the critical voice of your parent
that keeps running in your mind,
thinking what you’re doing IS NOT ENOUGH

becomes the voice of your inner critic.

WE THEN BEGIN TO PARENT OURSELVES THE WAY WE WERE PARENTED.

And when we don’t address that at it’s ROOT CAUSE (early childhood attachment wounds),
when we become parents,

and we react to our children,
raise our voices,
invalidate their emotions

as a means of protecting our own fragile egos….

We then pass down the chain of trauma to their little nervous systems,
and they then get that mind virus implanted in THEIR psyches…

They fracture from trusting themselves the same as we did,
they end up facing the same problems we did,
Their anxiety begins to skyrocket (just like ours did)
Behavioral issues begin to emerge (just like we did)
Their relationships end up turning out like ours did.

When you finally take on the healing work,
show up through your fears,
take ownership,
Commit to breaking the cycle,
and find and face and reconnect with (integrate) with your younger parts,
Your wise, Divine Inner Parent comes back online,
you begin treating yourself with trust, safety, and understanding…

And voila, like magic….
You immediately become UPGRADED as a parent.

You then begin to treat your child
just as beautifully as you are treating yourself.
And guess what?

When you’re old and grey, they might actually want to spend more time with you, without you having to guilt them to do it.

Wouldn’t that be special?

The greatest gift to your child is a fulfilled, self-loving parent.
The biggest obstacle will be your own fear of facing those wounded younger parts,
and the ego that’s trying to protect you from them.

When you’re ready to be a #cyclebreaker,

join us at our next event to learn how.
