007 Parenting on Empty: How Do We Give What We Haven't Received.

Today's episode is for all of us who feel like we are being called to give from an empty cup.  We might know in our heads the kind of love, attention, connection and relationship we want with the children in our lives, but what if that wasn't the way we were raised?

Jacquie spends today's episode unpacking her own story and shedding light on her journey of healing and finding a new way to parent, one that wasn't necessarily passed down in her childhood.  She discusses how the limitations or inability of our own parents to meet our needs may leave us feeling inadequate or incapable of meeting our kids' needs.  There is hope though! Listen in for some story, insight and hope for all of us who feel like we are running on empty.
