Listen in to this conversation with Anna Seewald, a psychologist, educator, parenting coach, and host of the Authentic Parenting podcast, about the intricacies of resilience and its pivotal role in parenting. We unravel the threads of shame and unworthiness, shedding light on the need for self-compassion in the process of healing. We also talk about the generational ramifications of trauma and the uphill battle of navigating parenthood while simultaneously healing deep-seated wounds.

We tackle the myth of resiliency as an innate characteristic, advocating instead that it's a skill that can—and should—be cultivated; and emphasize the invaluable roles of social connections, role models, and support networks in nurturing this skill. Drawing from her breadth of experience in trauma-informed parenting, Anna shares her insights on the significance of trauma-sensitive leadership in creating environments that enable personal growth.

Anna Seewald is a seasoned podcaster, author, and speaker, devoted to empowering parents in their journey to nurture thriving children. Her passion for child well-being was ignited when she survived a devastating earthquake at 13, inspiring her dream to become a psychologist to serve children. With over two decades of international experience, Anna now equips parents with essential knowledge and tools to support their child's authentic growth, firmly believing that nurturing parents is the key to shaping a brighter future for children.
