Ep 148: The Generational Ripple Effect: How One Mom's Healing Changed Three Generations

In this powerful interview, Ines shares how she transformed from a constantly triggered, yelling mom to creating a peaceful home in just four months.

As a working mom managing solo parenting during the week, Ines found herself screaming at her six-year-old son, her partner, and even colleagues at work. Despite trying mental load coaching, parenting books, and even inner child workbooks, nothing seemed to create lasting change.

The breakthrough? Discovering that her uncontrollable reactions weren't about her son's behavior at all, but about wounds from her own childhood - where she was the "responsible" middle child, never allowed to play, and never told she was loved unconditionally.

In this raw, honest conversation, Ines reveals:

• The specific situations that used to trigger her worst mommy tantrums
• How she went from dreading bedtime to creating a peaceful routine
• The shocking moment her own mother said "I love you too" for the first time
• How healing her triggers saved her relationship with her partner

If you've tried everything to stop yelling at your kids but nothing has worked, this episode reveals why - and shows how healing your own childhood wounds can transform not just your parenting, but every relationship in your life.

The ripple effect of this healing extends to three generations - proving it's never too late to break generational patterns.
