This is feminist wellness and I'm your host, nurse practitioner, functional medicine expert and life coach Victoria Albina. I'll be full heart. Welcome my love let's get started.

Hello hello my love I hope this finds you doing so well. My irises are coming up. It's so exciting. I love to go out in the

morning and see their perfect green leaves poking out of the the winter mulch, another little centimeter a day.

I can't wait to see them when they come up.

The Dahlia's are coming up to...

Springtime.

I mean to be real it's like 37 degrees out but still springtime.

So my darling today we are going to take a look at a topic that can be a challenging one.

And it hits pretty darn clues to home for me and for pretty much every client who has ever walked through anchored my six-month

program because this is often the thing we grew up with. It's often at the core of

our co-dependent perfectionist and people-pleasing habits,

and that is the topic of emotionally immature parents.

So, yes, our parents are generally speaking older than us, and as children, we would understandably

look to them for wisdom and guidance. But parents are fallible human people like us too. They have their

own package, trauma, issues. They have their own upbringing and everything they

learned from the parents that came before them.

Some are able to process their own emotions and experiences and are able to show up as emotionally

mature and are available for the young ones in their lives in a real and powerful way.

While for some people raising kids, that is more than their nervous system has the capacity to handle

it's so much more than they can manage with the skills and tools that they got

from their parents and theirs.

And that is our topic for today.
