Parenting Yourself First: Vic and Hamish's Journey to Better Parenting

By taking care of yourself, you train and prepare yourself to take care of others. It's like putting on your oxygen mask first before assisting others on a plane.
Ever wondered how taking care of yourself first can make you a better parent? Vic and Hamish from 'Sober Awkward' dive into this idea with their usual blend of humor and honesty. Inspired by a quote from Russell Brand, they explore how their own drinking days were marked by poor self-care, from partying too hard to neglecting their well-being.
They discuss the importance of learning to 'parent' yourself before you can effectively parent others, sharing their own stories and fears about passing on negative traits to their kids. Whether you're a parent or not, this episode offers valuable insights into self-care, setting boundaries, and personal growth. It's a heartfelt conversation that highlights the transformative power of sobriety in nurturing healthier relationships.
