This week, I’m joined by Melanie Shankle to talk about her book, Here Be Dragons. Our conversation dives deep into important topics like generational trauma, relationships, and the impact of mean girls on young girls. Melanie’s focus on healing and boundaries is so powerful, reminding us that the path to raising emotionally healthy kids starts with becoming emotionally healthy ourselves.
Here are four key takeaways from this episode:
- Raising emotionally healthy children starts with doing the work to heal yourself. It’s never too late to begin.
- Boundaries are essential for protecting your emotional health and that of your family.
- Melanie encourages parents to pause and evaluate areas in their lives that need healing or adjustment for their own and their children’s benefit.
- We discuss the influence of relationships and mean-girl culture on young girls, and how parents can guide them toward healthy connections.
Melanie Shankle is a bestselling author, speaker, and host of The Big Boo Cast podcast. Her latest book, Here Be Dragons, explores the complexities of relationships and the importance of emotional health. Melanie’s heartfelt writing and practical advice have made her a trusted voice for parents seeking to raise emotionally resilient children.
