Why This Episode is for You

If you’ve ever found yourself questioning your parenting strategies, feeling overwhelmed by your own triggers, or simply wondering how to raise emotionally resilient kids in a chaotic world—this episode is for you. I sat down with therapist and parenting expert Sari Rose Barron to explore the realities of modern parenting, diving deep into topics like attachment theory, emotional regulation, and generational trauma. Whether you’re a parent, therapist, or just curious about how our childhood wounds show up in adulthood, you’ll walk away feeling seen, supported, and empowered.


What We’re Unpacking in This Episode

  • How self-concept and emotional regulation influence the way we parent
  • Why perfect parenting doesn't foster secure attachment
  • The power of repair, reflection, and connection in strengthening parent-child relationships
  • A gentle intro to parts work and how understanding our inner child transforms our responses
  • The hidden role of generational trauma in shaping parenting behaviors
  • Why boundaries and empathy are both crucial for emotional safety
  • The link between behavior management and deeper emotional needs
  • Practical tips for navigating triggers and staying grounded


Your Key Takeaways

Parenting is not about perfection—it’s about presence.
✨ Repair matters more than rupture. It’s never too late to reconnect.
✨ Behavior is a symptom, not the root. Get curious about what’s underneath.
✨ You don’t have to fix every feeling. Holding space is powerful.
✨ Parts work can help decode your inner parenting landscape.
✨ Emotional regulation starts with you. Kids mirror what we model.
✨ Boundaries are a gift, not a punishment. They create safety.
✨ Connection means welcoming all emotions, not just the pleasant ones.
✨ Parenting is a journey of healing—for you and your children.
