202: Identity with Dean Black

Conscious re-parenting is the practice of parenting the child within in the way that works for you. No matter what our journeys have been or what has happened, there comes a point where the parent that we desire is ourselves. Our mom can't fix 'it'. Our dad can't fix 'it'. Only we can. In this episode, Britny explains what conscious re-parenting is, how it works, and how you can begin to give yourself everything you need to journey with peace, love, and most importantly, grace.  Talk on conscious re-parenting begins at 7:25 Be sure to like, review, and subscribe for future episodes.

We are glad to be back.  TRIGGER WARNING: This episode talks about Britny's personal journey with grief and loss. While it is an episode that is close to her heart, we understand that it can be triggering for those in process. Take your time and know that you are not alone on this road.
