Every mom wants to give their kids the world: to spare them from hardship, set them up for success, & see them be happy. Yet that’s NOT what your kids need from you the most!

The greatest gift a mom can give her kids isn’t stuff. It’s not even time & attention. What your kids need most is to see you take ownership of your OWN happiness! To model healthy emotional regulation & self-empowerment so they don’t fall victim to four harmful outcomes: parentification, insecure attachment, risky behavior, or the belief that happiness is out of reach for them, too.

I underscore all the reasons why moms’ mental health & happiness are absolutely ESSENTIAL for your kids’ wellbeing, both now & in the future. I share two personal examples along with a client’s experience wrestling with unhappiness to convey the impact that your (un)happiness has on your kids & why it’s so, SO crucial you prioritize your own joy.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• All the things moms think their kids need but really don’t matter that much
• What can happen when moms ignore themselves & their own happiness
• How you taking radical responsibility for your own happiness helps your kids see what’s possible for them (& vice versa: when you’re unhappy, it models for your kids that their happiness shouldn’t matter either)
• That kids’ nervous systems are incredibly intuitive & perceptive, meaning they sense how (un)happy you are whether you explicitly let on or not.
• The most “insidious” form of child neglect, according to experts
