When Perfect Love Becomes Performance: Breaking Free from the Parent You Felt You Had to Be

You weren’t created to parent through pressure, but for so many high-achieving women, that’s exactly what it’s become.

In this episode, Mischelle dismantles the emotional conditioning that taught you to prove your love instead of trusting it. From childhood messages like “Be good” and “Don’t talk back” to the guilt-ridden moments where you’re physically present but emotionally gone.

This conversation goes beneath the surface to expose what performance-based parenting is really costing you.

You’ll walk away with a new lens, deeper permission, and a quiet invitation to return to love-led connection without the performance.
