Episode Synopsis

In this passionate and perspective-shifting solo episode, Angie pulls back the curtain on one of parenting's biggest misunderstandings: the belief that punishment changes behavior.

This isn't just a list—it's a wake-up call for every parent who's trying to do the right thing but feels stuck in reactive patterns. Angie shares how these strategies affect a child's self-worth, nervous system, and sense of identity, and what it means to truly steward a child's energy instead of managing their behavior. ✨ In this episode: Why even "good parents" may still be missing the mark How punishment distorts a child's view of love, safety, and self-worth The connection between Human Design and how kids process discipline Why your child needs emotional safety—not control A better path forward rooted in connection, clarity, and conscious parenting This episode will empower you to break cycles, trust your intuition, and shift from fear-based parenting into alignment with who your child really is.
