Conscious Parenting: 8 Lessons I Learned from My Son
KANIKA ENERGY COACH > PODCAST AND MEDIA APPEARANCES
This episode is close to my heart. I’m sharing 8 life-changing lessons my son has taught me about raising ourselves and our kids.
This is not a conversation about parenting “perfectly.” It’s about how our children reflect our inner world. It’s about healing for them and for us.
If you’ve ever wondered how your child’s behavior might be reflecting your inner world, or if you’ve felt that parenting is inviting you to grow in ways you never expected — this episode is for you.
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER
The real reason your child’s words or behaviors feel so triggering, and what they’re actually showing you
How to respond when your child says something that breaks your heart
The difference between emotional safety and control, and why kids need safety, not control
How your own unspoken feelings might be shaping your child’s experience
A gentle way to repair after you’ve overreacted, without spiraling into guilt
What it means to raise a soul, not just a child
Why “I trust you” can be more powerful than “I love you”
How your parenting journey might be helping you reclaim parts of yourself you thought you lost
WHO THIS IS FOR
You’ve walked away from a moment thinking, “That’s not who I wanted to be”
You’re ready to explore what parenting is teaching you about yourself
You’re learning how to show up honestly
You believe there’s a soul contract between you and your child
You want to raise your child with connection, not control
