Authentic Moments ||parenting | Emotions | Trauma | Mindfulness

Parenting is filled with lots of triggers. My guest Michelle Lee, a women's empowerment coach, shares her powerful story of breaking free from the past, healing from emotional wounds, and learning to love herself. She had her first baby when she was 14 and went though a private adoption. “I wanted to give my daughter what I didn’t get from my childhood. ” She wasn’t always the Mom she is today. The difference between between being physically present and emotionally present. “I just wanted to be loved. I didn’t feel loved as a child and I did what I thought what give her love. She sacrificed her body at 14 only to learn that it wasn’t it. She looked for that love in men, in marriage and her children. It was only into her 30‘s she discovered that no one is responsible for making you feel loved. You must love yourself first.  Not men, not marriage and definitely not your children.
