In this episode, we’re tackling a big topic - discipline. More specifically, how to set boundaries for our children without using shame.
So many of us were raised to believe that discipline meant punishment, fear, or guilt - but what if discipline could be something entirely different? What if it was about guidance, respect, and connection?
Today, we’ll explore:
✅ The true meaning of discipline (hint: it’s not about control!)
✅ Why boundaries make children feel safer, not restricted
✅ How to hold kids accountable without shaming them
✅ Practical strategies for setting firm, loving boundaries
And before we wrap up, I share about how shame silently holds us back in ways we don’t even realise.
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling guilty after setting limits, worried about being “too strict” or “too soft,” or just want to discipline in a way that builds connection rather than fear - this episode is for you.
