Parents, Ditch the Guilt
Parents, I see you--beating yourself up.
Criticizing your parenting.
Feeling like a failure.
I get it.
I know you have impossibly high standards for yourself.
You want to be PERFECT.
You want to get it right, the first time, every time, as a parent.
I get it.
You care so much, and your heart is so big and strong.
Then, when you aren’t perfect, which, newsflash, WILL HAPPEN, you make it mean that you’re failing.
That you’re not good enough.
But this story is NOT THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU AS A PARENT.
Yes, you are imperfect. (Like every person to ever exist.)
And, yes, you will make mistakes. (Like every person to ever exist.)
But you are lovable and perfect in your imperfection, like your child.
You are learning and making mistakes, like your child.
You deserve compassion and love, like your child.
You can learn and grow and change, like your child.

If you’re ready to hold yourself with more gentleness and understanding, let’s schedule a free call together, and create a plan for you to have more peace and connection in your home.
