The Enneagram for Moms w/Beth McCord, Type 9
Healthy parenting involves not only the journey of helping to love our kids but also understanding ourselves and the ways we handle stress. This often involves doing some healing around our own developmental stories. When we learn to self-regulate well, we bring a non-anxious connected presence of attunement with our kids so they thrive and we thrive, too. Today the Enneagram & Marriage audience is learning from master Enneagram coach, Beth McCord, Type 9 (Your Enneagram Coach which has over 3 million Enneagram test takers!) who teaches you steps to grow in your parenting and on your journey as well as she unfolds the layers of her new book, "The Enneagram for Moms" that drops this week. Join us as you learn how to bring the best version of you and bring these healthy practices to the generations behind you as well!
“In the all-too-common parental drive to shape or “fix” our kids, moms, like me, often overlook the real issue we are facing: we have not yet learned to recognize and regulate our own inner worlds.” - Beth McCord
