24) Reparenting Yourself: Healing Past Wounds While Raising Your Children with Dr Naomi Gibson

We often hear the phrase "you can’t pour from an empty cup," but how do we actually fill it when we’re being pulled in a dozen directions? In this profound episode of Dam Parenting, we welcome back Dr. Naomi Gibson to explore the transformative concept of reparenting ourselves.

Reparenting is the courageous process of healing emotional wounds by choosing to give ourselves the love, approval, and boundaries we may have missed in childhood. Eva and Maren take a warm, honest, and direct look at why this journey is both essential and incredibly stressful when you have little ones depending on you 24/7. We discuss how to identify the "gaps" in your own upbringing and how to make small, intentional choices that lead to a more regulated, compassionate version of yourself. If you’re ready to stop looking outward for validation and start nurturing the parent within, this episode is for you.
