Whew. That one hits, doesn’t it?🫣 Maybe you grew up feeling like love had conditions. That your “big feelings” were too much. That calm was rewarded, and anything messy? Shut down or punished. Or maybe you’re still feeling that way… in your adult relationships, in your family dynamic, in the little moments that chip away at your sense of safety. But here’s the thing: just realizing this is powerful. Because now you get to choose differently. 💛 In our homes now, we welcome sadness. 💛 We hold space for anger. 💛 We honor boundaries — even when they stretch us. Not because it’s easy. But because we know how much it hurts when those things are ignored. This is what emotional safety actually looks like. And this is how we give our kids what we didn’t get — not perfectly, but intentionally. We’ve been there. We see you. And we’re healing forward, together. 👇 Has this realization ever hit you in your own parenting journey?
