In part two of our four-part series with Kristen Humiston of Courageous Healing Therapy, we dive into how generational patterns show up in parenting and how self-compassion can reshape both personal perspectives and parenting approaches. Plus, Kristen walks Brit and Drea through their own mini “therapy session,” giving a real-life peek at how powerful (and surprisingly simple) self-compassion can be.

 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How our childhood bleeds into our parenting
  • The anxiety of being a mom
  • How to help our kids navigate frustration
  • The importance of apologizing to our kids
  • Helping our kids become resilient instead of fragile
  • How to speak self-compassion over yourself
