Minimalist Moms Podcast | Simple Living for Overwhelmed Moms Becoming the Parent You Needed: Why Self-Grace Might Save Your Family | Glen Henry (Bonus Episode)
This conversation is rooted in a Christian perspective, because that’s Glen’s background and mine as well. But the heart of this episode isn’t about Christianity - it’s about humanity, growth, grace, and learning to show up fully for ourselves and the people we love. Whether or not you share our faith, the themes we explore today are universal, and I truly believe there’s something here for everyone.
-----------------------
What if being a great parent starts with healing yourself first? In this episode, I’m joined by Glen Henry, creator of Beleaf in Fatherhood and author of Father Yourself First, to talk about why true parenting begins within. Glen shares his journey from reluctant dad to one of today’s most inspiring voices in modern parenting, and how confronting our own wounds allows us to lead our families with more empathy, patience, and love. We explore breaking cycles, redefining masculinity, and learning to show up for our children by first showing up for ourselves — a powerful reminder that growth at home begins with growth within.
