How to Forgive Your Parents for What They Couldn't Give You

Описание: Why is it so hard for parents to "detether" as their children grow up? In this clip, we dive into the heavy reality of parental guilt and that nagging feeling of "leaving something in the tank."

Once you become a parent yourself, the perspective shifts—you realize that "life is life." We discuss the concept of "Starter Car" parents: the realization that they were often just doing the best they could with the "fuel" they had at the time. From parents clinging to specific dates to apologizing for things that happened decades ago, we explore why finding grace for the people who raised us is the ultimate "win" for your own peace of mind.

If you’ve ever felt a disconnect with your parents or struggled with expectations versus reality, this conversation is for you.
