In this episode, we dive into the second part of a listener’s heartfelt question about parenting and anxiety. After a big emotional release, she found herself overwhelmed by guilt-ridden thoughts:
"I’m a bad mom. Did I do this to him?”
We explore the complex relationship between a parent’s healing journey and their child’s emotional well-being, examining how patterns like emotional availability, modeling calm, and creating balanced lifestyles can influence anxiety in children.
Together, we’ll reframe guilt into growth, reflect on how healing impacts family dynamics, and discuss practical steps to break cycles and foster resilience—for both parents and kids.
