The Boy Mom Podcast with Monica Swanson and Friends
April 15, 2021
Ep. 101 : Wake Up Calls, Knowing Our Identity, and Love-Centered Parenting, with Crystal Paine
After a frightening wake-up call with one of her children, Crystal Paine began to explore where things went wrong and how she might fix it. When a therapist suggested she take a different approach – one of focusing more on her relationship with her children than trying to fix them – everything began to change.
Crystal discovered root issues – lies she had believed about herself and her parenting. In her new book, Love-Centered Parenting, Crystal writes about this journey, and in this episodes, Crystal and I talk about what she has learned and how listeners might apply these lessons to their own parenting. I appreciate Crystal’s honesty and humility, and I think this conversation will inspire you in your own parenting!
