What if the well-meaning wish, “I just want my child to be happy”, is quietly fuelling shame, disconnection, and burnout?
In this heartfelt episode of From Burnout to Balance, Tanya unpacks how emotional suppression, rooted in generational trauma and cultural expectations, gets stored in the body, passed through parenting, and misunderstood as failure.
You’ll explore:
Why the nervous system reacts so strongly to your child’s big emotions
How grief becomes shame, for both parent and child
What nervous system safety really means (it’s not being calm all the time)
Why reparenting yourself is the key to supporting your child’s emotional world
What it sounds like to co-regulate instead of control
How grief, when welcomed, becomes the gateway to deeper trust and connection
This is not easy work, but it’s sacred work. And you don’t have to do it alone.
