The Resilient Heart Podcast


Jun 3, 2021

Parenting is one of the toughest but most rewarding jobs to have in the world, and what can possibly be more rewarding than watching your child achieve a major milestone in their life? 

Tune in as Gabi dedicates this episode to honoring her daughter on her 21st birthday and opens up about her proudest moments and biggest struggles as a mother. Having dealt with immense amounts of guilt and shame in her earlier years as a parent, Gabi brings us along on her personal healing journey - one that inspired her daughter to set off on her own path to healing as well. Gabi also shares her biggest advice learned from her parenting experiences, the legacy she wants to build, and her hopes for her two children in the coming years. 

 

KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

  • Lessons she learned from her daughter. 
  • Struggling with separation and isolation from your loved ones. 
  • Dealing with guilt and shame as a parent. 
  • Leaving your legacy as a parent. 
  • How to have difficult conversations with your child. 
  • Looking into the future. 

 

QUOTABLES:

“There's no perfect parent, there's no perfect way to raise your children, there's no roadmap for this shit.”

“When you can allow your children to tell you and to come to you and say “you've hurt me, I need to talk through this,” you're saving them so much pain, and grief, and heaviness.”

“Our babies need to see us healed and happy more than anything else.”
