Caught Lying About Sweets? What It Taught Me About Drinking
Manage episode 497839986 series 1953450
The other day, I caught my daughter lying about stealing sweets—and it hit me hard.
Not because of the sweets.
But because I recognised the pattern. The same energy I once brought into parenting—command and control, dominance and fear—is the energy I used to bring into my own inner world. Especially when I wanted a drink.
In this episode, I explore how our reactions to our children mirror our reactions to our PARTS… and why both need more curiosity, not condemnation.
This one’s for you if you’ve ever said, “I hate that part of me—it ruins everything.”
You don’t need a perfect script.
You need the right energy.
You don’t need to fight the PART that wants a drink.
You need to lead it.
