What happens when you realize your parents did the best they could—with what little they had? In this deeply honest episode, we explore the complicated legacy of generational parenting. Our guest reflects on her mother’s lack of nurturing—not as a personal failure, but as a reflection of the hardship and limited role models from her own upbringing.
Through this lens of compassion, we examine how understanding why our parents were the way they were can open the door to forgiveness, healing, and even gratitude. From honoring the gifts that were passed down—like the value of education—to acknowledging how parenting has evolved, this episode offers a powerful reminder: emotional expression wasn’t always part of love, but love was still present in its own quiet way.
