Expert: Peaceful Parenting Coach, Annaliese Erin on childhood trauma and reparenting

Content warning: This episode discusses childhood trauma and mentions sexual abuse. If any of these themes are triggering for you, please take care while you're listening.

This is the final episode of season two and I’m so proud that it’s this one because I feel like this is the kind of conversation that sets the tone for what’s to come for Motherness. Conversations that are deeper and more evolutionary than before.

Today’s guest is Annaliese Erin, a peaceful parenting coaching and mum to her two-year-old daughter Alaska Blue. Today she talks to her own childhood trauma and feelings of inadequacy around parenting, she never actually planned to have kids but just wait till you hear of how far she’s come. This episode is as practical as it is thoughtful. Annaleise shares strategies, tips, techniques and examples for managing behaviours and emotions - both ours and our child’s. We discuss shadow work and inner child work, self-healing, reparenting, emotional regulation, punishment vs consequences, and how to move forward from our own childhood trauma without blame.

This episode may just be the permission slip we all need to show up for ourselves, in order to show up for our tamariki.
