There’s a difference between being a perfect parent and being an awake parent.
I’m not trying to be a perfect parent.
But I am always trying to be an awake parent.
Here’s what I mean:
A perfect parent tries to never make mistakes.
An awake parent notices when they do.
A perfect parent tries to never lose their patience.
An awake parent takes responsibility when they do.
A perfect parent thinks they need all the answers.
An awake parent stays curious. Asks questions.
Yes we worry about getting everything right while also paying attention to what’s actually happening.
Being awake means noticing your own triggers.
It means recognizing when your fears, wounds, expectations, and stories are showing up in your parenting.
It means being willing to repair.
To apologize.
To listen.
To learn.
To see your child as they are instead of who you think they should be. (The hardest!)
The truth is, my daughter doesn’t need a perfect mom.
She needs a mom who is present enough to notice when she’s disconnected from herself.
And I definitely wasn’t always this way.
The parent I am today is the result of doing my own work.
Of getting coached.
Of looking at the patterns I inherited and the ones I developed to survive.
Of getting unstuck from the limiting beliefs that were running my life without me realizing it.
Because our triggers don’t just show up in parenting.
They show up everywhere.
In our relationships.
With money.
In business and career.
In our goals.
In the way we talk to ourselves when no one is listening.
This is the work I help people do every day.
To become aware of the patterns that no longer serve them.
To stop reacting from them.
To create lives they feel proud of when their head hits the pillow at night.
And yes, this is how we begin to end generational cycles.
No matter how stuck you feel right now, it’s all changeable.
No pattern has to be permanent.
They are learned habits.
And what is learned can be unlearned.
Cut yourself some slack if you’ve tried to change them.
The hardest part is trying to see the pattern from inside the pattern.
That’s where I come in.
DM me and I’ll show you exactly how I help people get unstuck.
