WMBK is on a friggin BILLBOARD. Thanks Amazon! Thanks strangers I forced to take these pics! Yes, I cried a little. I transformed a story about a helpless little girl who felt so much shame about her abuse into a story of pride and survival. The opposite of shame is having your story proudly plastered on Penn Station.

No matter how much gratitude, presence you feel, no matter how many hugs you give your childrenâyou will still have to confront the grief of losing them one day.

Your kids arenât triggering you, theyâre revealing whatâs always been there under the surface.
And if you grew up in a hard or painful environment, it can feel safer to see it in black and white.
But healing doesnât actually happen there.
In this conversation, we talk about the shift from pushing those memories away, to being able to hold a more nuanced truth.
Recognizing what hurt, without losing access to what didnât.
Letting that awareness guide your choices, instead of reacting from fear.
Because parenting from intention doesnât come from perfection. It comes from understanding.

In this conversation with Stephanie Foo, we talk about how easy it is to get pulled into gentle parenting from a place of fear, and how quickly that can turn into perfectionist parenting.
Following scripts, trying to get every response âright,â constantly monitoring yourself⊠it sounds like safety, but it pulls you out of being present. And presence is actually what your kids need most.
We get into all of this and more in this episode.
