Ever catch yourself in the heat of an argument with your child, only to realize you've slipped into an undesirable 'anger game'? Our guest, mental health coach and emotional fitness trainer Benji Sharer, knows this dance all too well and he's here to help us change the music. Join our enlightening conversation where we explore how to ensure our children feel safe, understood, and that their emotional needs are met.

Parenting isn't a one-size-fits-all venture - and neither is emotional fitness. Unpack the influence your own upbringing can have on your parenting style and how to approach challenging scenarios with emotions other than anger or fear. We'll learn from Benji’s personal journey of mastering his triggers and how you can apply his practical advice to avoid falling into the age-old 'anger game' with your little ones. 

Lastly, we'll journey into the realm of self-love and the role it plays in establishing trust and safety in the parent-child relationship. Our conditioning can sometimes lead us to suppress our emotions, but we'll discover how this can harm our relationships with our children. I'll be sharing handy tips to help you navigate unresolved trauma, and how to foster a bond with your child that is built on mutual trust and understanding. Remember, emotional fitness is not just about managing our triggers, but also about nurturing our emotional state with self-love and self-care. Tune in and let's redefine what it means to be an emotionally fit parent!
