What does a fulfilling life look like to you? How do you define success—not just for yourself, but for your kids?

In this episode of The Heart of Parenting Podcast, we’re diving deep into the expectations we carry for our children—where they come from, how they shape our parenting, and why they might be worth rethinking. You’ve spent years managing the chaos of daily life, guiding your kids, and making decisions to keep everything on track. But as they grow, are you still holding the reins a little too tightly?

I’ll challenge you to reflect on questions like:

• When did your dreams for your child begin, and whose dreams are they really?

• Are you parenting to prevent your own regrets, or to nurture your child’s unique path?

• Does your definition of success align with who your child truly is?

We’ll explore the myth of the “one right path,” why the college-success formula isn’t as reliable as we’ve been led to believe, and how loosening your grip can actually strengthen your bond with your child.

By the end, you might find that your expectations have changed—and that’s a good thing.

Curious? Good. That’s where growth begins. Let’s dive in.
