Episode Overview

  • Recovery is an ongoing process that impacts both parents and children.
  • There is no such thing as perfect parenting; everyone makes mistakes.
  • Self-forgiveness is crucial for healing from past behaviours.
  • Continuous personal growth sets a powerful example for children.
  • It's important to view your children's behaviours through a balanced lens.
Presenting yourself today as a loving, connected, compassionate, awake, and aware human being that is humble enough to say, I've done some things well and I've made some mistakes along the way, just like everybody else.
How does your recovery journey affect your children? In this episode of 'In The Circle', host Tommy Rosen sits down with Tracy to tackle this poignant question. Tracy opens up about her struggles with ingrained behaviours from her past and the impact they might have on her children. The conversation is a deep dive into the realities of parenting, recovery, and the ongoing process of self-improvement.

Tommy offers wisdom on how to forgive oneself for past mistakes and highlights the importance of continuous personal growth. He shares a touching personal story about his own mother, illustrating how even late-life changes can profoundly influence our children. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of guilt, healing, and the transformative power of recovery.
It's a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of parenting while on their own recovery journey. Whether you have children or not, the insights shared are universally relevant and deeply moving. Tune in to understand how you can present yourself as a loving, connected, and aware human being, setting a powerful example for your children and others around you.
