Episode 277
Monday, 2 March, 2026

What if the pressure to be a “good parent” is actually the very thing keeping us disconnected?In this honest and grounding conversation, I sit down with Alana Carvalho, host of The Co-Dependent Perfectionist and author of How to Raise Empowered Children, to explore the hidden emotional patterns driving modern motherhood.We talk about co-dependent perfectionism — the subtle but powerful way approval-seeking, over-functioning, and fear of getting it wrong quietly shape how we parent.This conversation goes beyond surface-level strategies. It’s about:*How perfectionism gets passed down unintentionally*What it really means to raise empowered children*And why empowerment begins with the parent’s relationship with themselvesIt’s about leading from connection instead of fear.About Alana Carvalho:Alana Carvalho is a therapist, host of The Co-Dependent Perfectionist, and author of How to Raise Empowered Children.
