Episode #33
Are You Raising Your Child—or Raising the Child You Wish You Had Been?
Send us Fan Mail Sometimes parenting isn’t just about raising our children—it’s about confronting the childhood we experienced ourselves. In this powerful episode of The Blinded Truth Podcast, we’re having an honest conversation about parenting, childhood wounds, generational patterns, expectations, and the difference between giving your child what you needed growing up and actually learning what your child needs from you today . Are we raising our children to become who they were created to be—or unconsciously trying to give them the childhood, opportunities, protection, freedom, or validation we wish we had? We’re talking about: • How unresolved childhood experiences can show up in parenting • Breaking unhealthy generational cycles • Parenting from healing instead of hurt • The difference between protection and projection • Allowing children to develop their own identity • Giving your child what they need—not simply what you needed • The importance of self-awareness, accountability, and emotional healing as parents This conversation isn’t about perfect parenting. It’s about becoming more intentional, asking ourselves the uncomfortable questions, and recognizing when our own stories may be influencing the way we raise the next generation.
