In this episode, we delve into an incredibly vital topic: breaking free from the cycle of toxic parenting. We’re joined by the amazing Cari Fund, a trailblazer in breaking the cycle of toxic parenting.

Together we explore the ease with which we can inadvertently repeat parenting patterns passed down through generations, often without realizing their impact on our children’s mental health. Thankfully, with advancements in child psychology, we know have the tools and knowledge to effect positive changes.

Cari guides us through the process of identifying these hidden patterns and, more importantly, shows us how to break them. This journey is not just about improving things for our teens; it is also about transforming ourselves in the process.

Listen in as we shed light on how to nurture healthier and happier families.
