In this heartfelt episode, my 10-year-old daughter and I share our deeply personal journey, beginning with my realization that my daughter’s struggles were a reflection of my own unhealed childhood wounds. I share how parenting Aria has helped me reparent my Inner Child and the profound changes that have come from healing our relationship as mother and daughter.

Aria also shares her unique perspective on various topics, including the development of a child’s Ego, her experience of COVID-19, and how kids pick up on and are affected by their parents' energy. We also delve into practical aspects, such as ensuring kids have outlets that bring them joy, the significance of quality time, especially for older siblings, and making sure children feel seen and heard. Aria even shares her new favorite app for staying calm and motivated.

Tune in for an episode filled with love, growth, and invaluable lessons from our healing journey together.
