MOMENT | Parenting ‘fails’ are actually opportunities - here’s why with Dr. Julie

Welcome back to Motherkind Moment. Moment is your place on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead.

This moment is with the incredible Dr. Julie from a longer episode which we released back in June. If you haven’t listened to that full episode, then please do. Unsurprisingly, it is one of our most popular episodes so far this year.

In this clip, Dr. Julie explains a huge parenting fail that she made and how she quickly repaired with herself and her son.

I hope this gives you lots of food for thought and lots of self-compassion. Remember we all make mistakes, even the world leading psychologist Dr. Julie.
