About this listen

Break free from toxic parenting patterns and raise resilient, emotionally secure, and happy children.

Do you ever catch yourself reacting in ways you swore you never would, repeating the very behaviors that hurt you as a child?

Are you struggling to set boundaries with your own parents while trying to raise your children differently?

Do you want to create a home where your kids feel emotionally safe, seen, and valued but don’t know how to undo years of conditioning?

For many of us, parenting is filled with love, hope, and the desire to do better. Yet, even with the best intentions, we may unknowingly fall into harmful patterns—patterns passed down through generations. We say things we don’t mean, control out of fear, or let perfectionism take over. The cycle continues, leaving children feeling unseen, unheard, and burdened.

The Dark Side of Parenting sheds light on these unseen wounds and provides a science-backed, compassionate guide to breaking free from toxic behaviors. This book isn’t about shame or blame—it’s about awareness, healing, and transformation. It empowers us to recognize unhealthy patterns, set firm yet loving boundaries, and nurture emotionally strong, independent children.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stop generational cycles and become the parent your child truly needs, this book will give you the tools and mindset shifts to create lasting change.

Parenting is a journey of growth for both our children and us. The transformation starts here.
