I love this. ❤️. We have to believe in our power as parents. 💕

Never doubt the power you hold as a parent — not the power to control, but the power to shape through presence.

The quiet consistency. The patience you show when it would be easier to react. The belief you hold when they can’t see their own strength. These are the moments that leave an imprint — even when it looks like nothing’s landing.

It can feel thankless in real time — the words repeated, the lessons ignored, the boundaries tested. But they’re absorbing more than they’ll ever admit.

Every act of love, every repair, every calm after the storm becomes part of the voice they’ll one day use to guide themselves.

And one day, without warning, you’ll see it — in the way they love, the way they stand, the way they move through the world — and know that love did its quiet work, shaping what was always theirs to grow into. ❤️

Love this.

One of my favorite questions to ask my clients is “What systems (cultural, family, religious, societal) may have contributed to the current story you are struggling with?”

This question has been tweaked and it is derived from the narrative work of Michael White + David Epstein.
I love this question so much because it helps to externalize and create cognitive distance between the human and the issue/problem/symptom they are struggling with.

Offering a wider systemic lens can make space for a person to understand how their environment can sometimes contribute to the very issue they are struggling with.

It can help to normalize their experience and soften any personal judgment or self-blame that may be present.
It also places (rightful) accountability on harmful environments that don’t allow for or have space for more supportive outcomes.

Think about a child who grew up with abusive parents and now blames or shames themselves in extreme ways.
They may greatly benefit from unpacking and exploring and externalizing their family system.
Giving them space to see the wider systemic context (beyond just seeing themselves and their struggles) can help them better understand that it was not their fault.
It can carve out more space for compassion and understanding to exist.

Think about a black child or an immigrant child who has a very strong accent going to an all-white school and living in a predominant white neighborhood.
They may become (subtly) bullied at school.
They may begin to experience fear or physical symptoms and be referred to a school psychologist.
Acknowledging their physical and emotional symptoms without taking into consideration the inherent systemic racial component can cause enormous harm.

This doesn’t mean that racial prejudice or family systems issues are always the cause for mental health struggles, but we absolutely need to be considering systemic pieces in order to create a more holistic environment of healing.
