For this conversation, I sit down with licensed professional counselor and intuitive healer Marsha Evans to discuss the complexities of parenting and the importance of breaking unhealthy generational cycles. We dive into the pressures parents face, particularly in highly competitive environments, and offers practical advice on how to let children evolve into their true selves. We also talk about the power of family systems, handling teenage rebellion, and the importance of parents doing the inner work to avoid passing down harmful patterns. Marsha also introduces tools like genograms to help parents understand their family history and offers actionable steps for creating a healthier, more intentional family dynamic.
