Final Thoughts on the Gifts of Imperfections

……..As parents, we must accept that we carry wounds and scars, both consciously and unconsciously. Striving for meaningful change while parenting is a process. It often feels uncomfortable, but we must summon the courage to confront the monsters that emerge from limiting beliefs. The journey toward meaningful change begins when we recognise these triggers in our parenting. The best part is, identifying points at which the triggers show up. It won't be smooth, but parenting unconsciously is far more challenging. It's tough when those around you don't recognise your journey or offer compassionate understanding; which leads to a crucial question: What's the greater risk? Letting go of what people think, or letting go of how I feel, what I believe, and who I am? As a parent, I aim to ensure my children grow up knowing they are enough and belong.
