Normalized but Not Normal, Normal but Shamed, Criticized and Repressed...

About this episode

The episode discusses the normalization of unhealthy parenting practices and the shame associated with healthy alternatives.

So much that has been normalized that simply isn't "normal" or healthy & helpful in parenting... In this episode I discuss some as well as all that was and is normal that has been shamed, criticized, and repressed. I hope this is helpful and promotes more peace in your day!
