Empowering Kids to Live their Truth: Resilient Parenting

In this episode of The Resilient Mother Podcast, Tiffany Lorraine Galloway is joined by Sasha Harris-Greenridge, Inner Self Guide at Sasha Essentials LLC, for a deep conversation on turning off external noise to focus on your inner voice and personal truth. Together, they explore how boundaries, resilience, and authenticity play a key role in parenting and personal growth. The episode delves into:

Finding Strength by Silencing the Noise: Sasha discusses the importance of eliminating external influences that don’t serve us—news, opinions of others, or negativity—and tuning into our inner voice. Only positive energy should shape our journey, as negative and positive forces can’t coexist in the same space in the mind.

Setting Boundaries Around Your Truth: Establishing boundaries is key, both for ourselves and for those we allow into our lives. Sasha emphasizes how these boundaries not only protect our energy but also affect our children, who are deeply influenced by the people we surround ourselves with. She discusses breaking generational cycles and letting children develop their own voice and sense of self.

Children as Independent Beings: Sasha believes that children are not possessions and they should never be burdened with the expectation of making their parents happy. Instead, they should be given the space to express their emotions, make choices, and learn from their own experiences. By empowering children with confidence and self-love, parents can set them up for a fulfilling life where they embrace who they are.

Resilience Through Trial and Error: Sasha shares her view that resilience is built through life's natural challenges. We cannot shelter our children from consequences; they must experience failure to learn and grow. As mothers, our role is to support, guide, and be a trusted presence, but not to control or judge too quickly.

Listening and Trusting Intuition: Sasha emphasizes the importance of trusting your own intuition as a parent and honoring the individuality of your children. Each child is unique and may require different approaches to life’s challenges. Parents need to respect those differences rather than impose their own ideals.

Human Design and Parenting: A major topic in the episode is the tool of Human Design, which Sasha uses to help parents understand themselves and their children better. By honoring their children's energy, parents can foster environments where their kids thrive. Respecting differences in how children process their emotions, manage their energy, and go about their day can help create a more harmonious family dynamic.

Failing Forward: Life’s challenges teach resilience, and Sasha urges parents not to shy away from allowing their children to fail. She also discusses the importance of failing forward in our own journeys—learning from setbacks and continuing to pursue our purpose no matter how hard the road gets.

Respecting and Validating Children: Sasha talks about how validating children’s feelings is essential for their development. Children should never feel that their emotions are "bad" or "wrong." Parents are there to support their children's emotional growth by creating safe spaces where they can express themselves freely.

Energy Boundaries: As adults, we need to protect our energy from being drained by others, and we must teach our children to do the same. Establishing healthy emotional and physical boundaries allows both parents and children to stay grounded in their truth.

Reflection and Growth as a Parent: Sasha believes that parenting offers a mirror to our own growth. Our children reflect back on aspects of ourselves, allowing us to learn and evolve as individuals. The reward of parenting comes when we see our children stepping into their truth, meeting their goals, and sharing their growth with us.
