The Dilemma of Staying Together for the Kids
KANIKA ENERGY COACH > PODCAST AND MEDIA APPEARANCES
Relationship Lab with Ash
Is staying together for the sake of the kids the right choice—or does it do more harm than good? In this thought-provoking episode of Relationship Labs, host Ash sits down with Energy Coach and Akashic Records Reader Kanika Vasudeva to explore one of the most common and painful dilemmas parents face.
Kanika shares her personal story of trying to “stay for the child” and why it ultimately led her to separation. She explains why children are far more perceptive than we realize, how they absorb the emotional undercurrents at home, and why legacy is not just about providing materially but about modeling alignment, joy, and courage. Together, Ash and Kanika explore parenting through separation, self-worth in relationships, and the energetic tools that help couples and individuals navigate conflict with clarity.
This conversation is both raw and deeply practical, reminding us that healing ourselves is the foundation for healing our families.
