Summary: In this episode, Joseph breaks down self-parenting into
4 steps. Nobody is perfect in this world; in fact, we are all
flawed and our parents are no exception to this rule. So what do
we make of the hurt and pain that was caused by our parents?
Moreover, how can we learn to self-parent ourselves and fill in
the gaps from our childhood? Tune-in to hear the 4 steps of
self-parenting that are essential to our well-being. Joseph will
explain why we need to love ourselves, the importance of setting
up healthy boundaries in relationships and the value of
self-reflection and more when it comes to parenting ourselves.

3 Key Points:

Our parents are not perfect and neither are we – being hurt by
our caregivers is an inevitable part of our human experience.
Creating healthy boundaries with others is one way we take care of
ourselves. You don’t have to rely on parents OR our past to dictate
how we respond to life—you can self-parent yourself.
