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.
