12 - Finding self-love and self-compassion as a parent

Trusting Children Podcast

As parents we often put unimaginable pressure on ourselves. We feel like we have to do it all and then when we can't we feel like we are failing. We get so caught up in looking after our children and often forget that we also need to look after ourselves. In this episode I speak to Nathalie Alvarado about re-connecting with our inner wisdom and really tuning into our own emotions and thoughts so that we can be fully aware when responding to our children.
If you want to know how to start this journey of inner-work in order to feel more connected and compassionate towards yourself then this episode is for you. Nathalie analyses the reasons we feel so much pressure as parents, and how to stop comparing ourselves to others and start focusing on our own strengths. She shares some ideas and tips on how to do this and also why it's so important that we model these healthy beliefs and patterns to our children. Nathalie also shares her secret to help parents get to a place where you feel confident about the parent you are.
