“What would you want for your child?”
Sometimes, it just needs to be asked so we recalibrate ourselves and be the best model we can be for them. In this episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, we hear Annie Henderson, the Moms Empowerment Coach and host of the Happy Mama Village Podcast, to talk about how she started a community of strong women who support each other. Annie also shares some personal stories—how she aces being a mum, how she came out to her family, how she continues to be impactful to other people, especially women, and more. Tune in now to know more about her, her projects, and some parenting tips!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Don’t wait till your child reaches the teenage years to start honing good habits (and correcting the bad ones). Annie emphasises how important the formative years of a child are. During early childhood, the physical, emotional, and social development that is happening is crucial. Your duty as a parent, an educator, or a counsellor is to push the child onto the right path.
Annie worked as a school counsellor. And one of her first objectives was to let the kids know who she was and how she can be a reliable person in their lives. When we introduce ourselves and show how supportive we are to our kids, then we build trust and it becomes easy for them to approach you.
Fear will hold you back. Fear of rejection will not make you succeed; fear of conflicts will not let you understand and improve yourself. Limiting beliefs will truly stop you from achieving any of your goals. Learn to teach yourself and your children how to be perceptive and courageous so they’ll be ready with whatever life throws at them.
It was difficult for Annie to be true to herself before and to come out to her religious family. There are still a number who aren’t as welcoming as we thought to the LGBT+ community. She was also still with the father of her child that time. Does she have to limit herself so she cannot ‘hurt’ other people? It took a lot of courage to finally do it.
