39. The Unlived Life of Parents (And How It Impacts Your Children) with Empowerment Coach, Jody Ruston
Description
“The greatest burden a child must bear… is the unlived life of the parents.” — Carl Jung
What if the pressure you feel as a parent isn’t actually about your child… but about you?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with empowerment coach and “More Than a Mum” mentor Jody Ruston to explore the concept of the unlived life—and how the parts of ourselves we suppress don’t disappear… they get passed down.
We talk about:
✨ How parents unknowingly project their unfulfilled dreams onto their children
✨ The emotional and nervous system impact of living through your child
✨ Why your child doesn’t need a perfect parent—they need a fully expressed one
✨ How to reconnect to yourself while raising a family
✨ The courage it takes to live your life in front of your children, not just for them
This episode is a powerful reminder:
Your child is not your second chance… they are their first.
