With a lot of new listeners out there recently, I wanted to use this episode to shed a little more light on who I am and why I'm doing what I'm doing.
I'm sharing my personal background, which includes a long history of perfectionism and high-achieving, but also a good dose of guilt and shame. All of which led me to be terrified of parenting. Not only because I was afraid of doing it imperfectly, but also because I didn't want to pass along my perfectionism to my children.
Even though I knew I wanted something different for my kids, I didn't know what the alternative was until my daughter was about 4 months old. Conscious parenting resources rocked my world, revolutionized my relationship with God, and ultimately changed the way I see and interact with every human being, including myself.
