Ep #145 Emotional Regulation 101: How Feeling Your Emotions Makes You a Better Parent
If you've ever thought,
“I shouldn't feel this way...”
“I should be happier…”
“Good parents don't feel so frustrated…”
this episode is for you.
In today's episode, I'm diving into the messy-but-magical world of emotional regulation and why—those uncomfortable feelings you're trying to stuff down are actually your parenting superpower in disguise.
I share my own journey from emotional avoidance to acceptance (including that time I almost took my kids to Disneyland just to escape dealing with my feelings—true story!), and why understanding your own emotions is the secret sauce to helping your children manage theirs.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why the "50/50 rule" of emotions changed everything for me
- The science behind why feeling your feelings actually makes them LESS powerful
- My step-by-step process for moving from emotional reactivity to response
- Practical ways to use your triggers as teachers instead of tormentors
- How emotional acceptance creates deeper connections with your kids
Remember, you don't need to be emotion-free to be an amazing parent—you just need to know how to ride the waves without drowning. And I'm here to be your emotional lifeguard! 🏄♀️
Until next time, stay feeling! ~Andee
