Licensed marriage and family therapist, and founder of the popular Conscious Mommy community on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, Bryana Kappadakunnel shows how your upbringing is probably impacting your parenting style in ways you don't even fully recognize: from how you manage your own emotions to how you connect with your kids in their vulnerable moments. The secret to successful parenting is to UN-learn the wounded patterns you grew up with and create new ways to connect with your child.
Many of us didn't have a perfect childhood. But it's never too late (or too early!) to transform into the parent you were always meant to be - grounded, present, intentional, compassionate and confident. Parent Yourself First shows you how to break free of past patterns that no longer serve you and heal from generational trauma. Connect with your child, understand their needs, and guide them to the happy, healthy life they deserve.
