Parents, We Need To Talk
Can your child tell you the truth?
It’s one of the hardest questions a parent can ask—and one that has the power to change everything.
In this episode of Laugh. Cry. Scream., I’m inviting parents into an honest conversation about accountability, self-reflection, and the courage to look inward before looking outward.
This isn’t about blame.
It’s about asking questions many of us have avoided:
- Was I a parent who was easy to tell the truth to?
- What was it like to be parented by me?
- Am I spending more time trying to understand my child… or defend myself?
As a parent myself, I know these questions aren’t easy. I’ve had to face my own blind spots and admit there were things I missed. Doing our best and still having blind spots can both be true.
Whether you’re navigating family estrangement, a strained relationship with an adult child, or simply want to become a safer, more connected parent, this episode is an invitation to do the work that is still within your control.
Because we can’t change the past.
But we can decide who we become today.
If this conversation resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Please subscribe if you’re looking for honest conversations about parenting, estrangement, healing, and relationships.
