As parents, we must accept that we carry wounds and scars, both consciously and unconsciously. Striving for meaningful change while parenting is a process. It often feels uncomfortable, but we must summon the courage to confront the monsters that emerge from limiting beliefs. The journey toward meaningful change begins when we recognise these triggers in our parenting. The best part is, identifying points at which the triggers show up.

Anxiety is a normal emotion we all experience in various ways. It becomes a disorder when it is excessive, persistent, and interferes with our daily lives. As a new parent, I've learned firsthand how easily one can slip into a deeper trench of anxiety. While some anxiety is normal, excessive anxiety is detrimental to our infants. Research shows that infants are sensitive to our emotions and parental stress can lead to stress in infants too.

Intuition is our ability to hold spaced for uncertainty and our willingness to trust the many ways we’ve developed knowledge and insight, including instinct, experience, faith and reason. Faith is a place of mystery, where we can find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of out fear of uncertainty. Without leaning into my intuition, getting through the weekend would have been tough.
