Welcome back to the UNtriggered Parenting Podcast.
When your children grow up secure — able to say no, speak up, rest, and feel safe being themselves — it’s everything you wanted for them. But sometimes, their freedom also reminds you of what you didn’t have.
In this episode of Untriggered Parenting, Paula explores the bittersweet emotions that come with raising emotionally secure kids when you weren’t raised that way yourself. We’ll talk about the quiet grief behind healing, why mixed emotions don’t mean you’re failing, and how to turn comparison into compassion for your inner child.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m happy my kids have this… but why does it still hurt?” — this episode will help you understand why, and remind you that your child’s peace is proof of your healing.
✨ In this episode:
The hidden grief of raising secure childrenHow to sit with mixed emotions without shameReframing guilt as evidence of generational healingSimple reflection prompts to bring compassion back to your story🎧 Listen now and share it with another healing parent who needs to hear: you are the bridge — and you are doing beautifully.
