Show Notes

Parenting a SPICY child is often lonely, exhausting, isolating and overwhelming.

I know because I have a SPICY child myself, and I see ya’ll in private practice every week

We live in a society that says children should all fit into a neat little box of behavior and personality… and if they don’t… well… it must be the parents’ fault!

But most of society has no clue what it’s like to parent a SPICY child!

Join me as I break down some of the myths surrounding self-compassion, and why making it a habit will forever change your life (like, in a positive way! ).

There’s also a little exercise at the end if you’d like to give this whole ‘self-compassion thing’ a try.
