Do you find yourself constantly striving for perfection in your parenting? Does the idea of not having all the answers or losing control fill you with anxiety? If you&#39;re a high-achieving parent who wants deep connection but finds yourself stuck in a &#34;fix-it&#34; or &#34;control&#34; mindset, this episode is for you.Today, I have a truly insightful conversation with Kate Kripke, a licensed clinical social worker and perinatal mental health counselor. We dive into the neuroscience behind why many high-achieving women, like us, approach motherhood with a desire for control and achievement, and why that very approach can hinder the deep connection we crave. We discuss how our own need to feel in control stems from a fundamental need for safety.Kate and I explore the critical difference between control and influence, emphasizing that true positive influence comes from a place of inner steadiness and emotional regulation, not external demands. This episode is a powerful invitation to release the &#34;shoulds&#34; of parenting and lean into grace, presence, and heart-centered connection.In This Episode👉 Understanding the brain&#39;s role in mothering👉 How to differentiate control from influence👉 How to address fear-based parenting👉 Releasing the need to &#34;fix it&#34;👉 Embracing the discomfort of not knowing👉 Prioritizing inner steadiness for connection========📲 Follow Kate on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/katekripke/" rel="nofollow">@katekripke</a>🔗 Interested in group or 1:1 Coaching?
