Emotional Abuse Is Real
Breaking Emotionally Abusive Parenting Cycles With Valerie Probstfeld, RN, MSN, FNP-BC
On today’s episode, I welcome Valerie Probstfeld. Valerie is a nurse practitioner, writer, podcaster, as well as the creator and host of the To Mom Is to Love platform. To quote Valerie, the To Mom Is to Love community embraces imperfection, and promotes love as a verb.
My conversation with Valerie touches upon several important topics, including her own childhood emotional abuse, as well as the concept of medical bullying. We also chat about how we are both trying to break harmful generational cycles in our respective parenting journeys. There is something for everyone in this episode, whether you’re a parent or not, and the biggest takeaway is that we’re all guilty of being too hard on ourselves.
