ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, Rosemary Clark shares her journey of burnout and how it led her to discover the language of listening parenting model. She realized that her burnout was rooted in her childhood experiences of abuse and a need to prove her worth. Through language of listening, she learned how to draw out her children's strengths and hold boundaries in a way that empowered both her and her children. The model is based on the belief that everything children do and say is communication, children have every possible inner strength, and all behaviors are driven by three healthy needs: experience, connection, and power. By using these tools, parents can help their children develop a positive self-image and navigate challenges in a healthy way.

Meet our Guest:
After burning out at work, Rose learned, in therapy, that she had had a highly abusive childhood. Her need to push herself SO HARD was rooted in trying to earn something that seemed out of reach her whole life - feeling her parents' love. When Rose became a mom, it magnified her insecurities, and started triggering UNSHED TEARS and UNEXPRESSED ANGER. She felt she had 2 CHOICES… Fall into the abyss of repeating what her parents did, or learn completely new ways of relating. Rose will forever be grateful that she stumbled upon Language of Listening, a parenting model that not only allowed her to become the mom she always wanted to be, but also allowed her to re-parent herself. Now, as an Authorized Language of Listening coach, she specializes in helping moms who had difficult childhoods and gets them to a place where they LOVE the way they parent.
