Imperfect Mommying: Better Parenting through Self-Healing with Alysia Lyons

In this episode, we unravel the intricate layers of happiness, communication, and the profound statement, "I'm only as happy as my least happy child." Join us as we explore the pivotal role of communication beyond mere words, which constitute a mere 7% of our interactions, and delve into the essence of conveying feelings and intentions. We challenge the conventional wisdom that our happiness is tied to the emotional states of those around us, especially our children. Through heartfelt discussions, personal anecdotes, and expert insights, we uncover strategies for fostering a healthy emotional environment for both parents and children. Discover how empathy, personal responsibility for our happiness, and the art of holding space for all emotions can transform our relationships and personal well-being. Whether dealing with tantruming toddlers or hormonal teenagers, this episode offers a fresh perspective on navigating the roller coaster of parenting with grace, understanding the difference between empathy and emotional entanglement, and the importance of choosing happiness amidst life's challenges.
