Hey, my friends!

Parenting can feel like a mirror—reflecting not just our child’s behavior, but our own wounds, patterns, and triggers. What if the biggest shifts didn’t start with our kids, but with us?

Today, I’m chatting with Bryana Kappadakunnel, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, mother, and author of Parent Yourself First. For over a decade, Bryana has helped parents uncover the root of their child’s struggles while healing their own nervous system and family patterns.

We dive into conscious parenting—why change starts within ourselves, how our past shapes our parenting, and why it’s not our child’s job to manage our triggers. Bryana shares how to set boundaries, heal your inner child, see the needs beneath behavior, do repair work, practice effective discipline, and why having friends as a mom is essential.

✨ Love this episode? Check out episode 50 with Dr. Lindsay Gibson on recovering from emotionally immature parents — one of our most-loved episodes.
