“The best measure of your parenting is your child’s happiness.”

— Allison Villa


Have you ever stopped to think about what lessons you have learned in parenthood?


Recently, I’ve celebrated a huge milestone in my life; 10 years of motherhood.


In today’s episode of Couplehood, I took some time to reflect on what I’ve learned in my 10 years of parenting and what I would tell myself 10 years ago when I began my motherhood journey.


As you listen, I encourage you to reflect on your own parenting journey and write down the lessons that you’ve learned along the way.


I find it helpful to find compassion for my younger self, as a new mother, and I hope that you share that grace with yourself as well.


In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of Couplehood,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌

  • What the true measure of your parenting is
  • How your childhood plays a role in your children’s childhood
  • What to do when you make a mistake as a parent
  • How important your relationships with your partner and your friends are in your parenthood journey


“Our children are our mirrors and they reflect our own inner-child wounds that may still need healing. Let your children be your guide to keep going inwards and understanding yourself.”

— Allison Villa
