Your Meltdowns Aren't Breaking Your Kids—Here's Why

It feels like two people stood up in the room: the mother you want to be, and the child you once were.


If you’ve ever felt hijacked by your own reaction to a toddler meltdown, or paralyzed by the fear that you are "messing up" your kids, this episode is a breath of fresh air. Rachael is joined by Jenni Smith, LCSW, to talk about the gritty reality of reparenting ourselves alongside our children.


We move beyond the script of "perfect parenting" to discuss why postpartum recovery actually takes four years (not six weeks), how to physically release rage without shame, and why the "messiness" of rupture and repair actually builds stronger kids than perfection ever could.


Listen to learn:


• How to identify when you are reacting from a past wound.


• Why "calm" isn't always the goal (and how to regulate loudly).


• The difference between a "story" you’re telling yourself and what is actually happening.
