Regulating & Raising
This episode is for the parent who wants to do things differently than how they were raised — but keeps catching themselves slipping into the same patterns they swore they never would. MaKenzie sits down with Tanith Carey, a parenting and psychology author, counselor, and mom of two who has written 12 parenting books published in over 40 languages — including the bestselling What's My Child Thinking? series with clinical psychologist Dr. Angharad Rudkin. Tanith is also training in Gestalt psychotherapy, and she brings such a grounded, evidence-informed, and deeply human approach to the inner work of parenting. Together they explore why cycle-breaking parenting is not about becoming a different parent — it is about becoming a more conscious one. They get into how our nervous systems run our reactions before our brains catch up, the inherited core beliefs we are unknowingly passing on (big feelings are dangerous, good children are compliant, my child's behavior reflects my worth), the importance of inner child work, and why repair is far more powerful than perfection. Tanith also shares the Spark concept — a beautiful framework for simplifying your child's extracurriculars — and her gentle case for returning to primal, present parenting in a world that wants us to optimize our children at every turn. If you are doing the brave work of breaking generational patterns, this episode is a deep exhale. What We Cover Why we parent from the nervous system, not the brain — and what that means in high-conflict moments. The difference between becoming a different parent and becoming a conscious one. The inherited core beliefs most parents are carrying without realizing it. Why the real work of cycle-breaking happens away from your kids, not in the middle of meltdowns. How to start the inner work with compassion instead of overwhelm. The repair conversation — why messing up is a learning opportunity for your child, not a failure. How core parenting beliefs clash in marriages and how to navigate it together. Why the years zero to seven are so foundational — and why the work is never "too late." The Spark concept for simplifying extracurriculars. Why we have massively overcomplicated parenting — and the case for primal, present-moment parenting. Sitting with discomfort as the doorway to growth.
