    Summary:
    This episode focuses on the importance of leading ourselves first as parents and how it impacts our children's health and well-being. The subconscious mind of children is like a fishbowl before the age of seven, and they absorb everything as absolute truth. By doing the work of self-reflection and healing our own patterns and beliefs, we can pass down positive and empowering views to our kids. Integrity with our own words and commitments is crucial, as it sets an example for our children. We need to be aware of the stories we tell ourselves and rewrite them to create a healthier mindset. The transformation process involves letting go of negative patterns and behaviors. Developing a healthy relationship with ourselves and demonstrating self-love and self-compassion is the best gift we can give our children.
