"Parenting may be less about raising our children and more about raising ourselves. It compels us to break our own cycles of shame and pain as we bring healing to our own childhood."In this episode on the Deconstructing Mamas podcast, Cindy Wang Brandt, author of that quote, cohost on the Parenting Forward podcast and author of Parenting Forward, really digs deep into the subject of religious trauma and how that plays out in parenting. How can we heal ourselves, make good boundaries with our families of origin and give ourselves grace and space in the process? SHOW NOTES:Cindy is the guru when it comes to deconstructing and parenting. She is a wife to one and a mom to two.  She has done the hard work of helping parents unpack and heal from their own religious trauma so they can raise children with healthy spirituality.This podcast episode is packed full of so many nuggets of wisdom, but Cindy breaks it all down super practically. So if you are starting this journey or are in the middle or even far along, this podcast episode has something special just for you.Facebook: Parenting Forward Raising Children Unfundamentalist GroupInstagram:  @parentingforward Twitter:  @cindywangbrandtWebsite:  www.cindywangbrandt.comParenting Forward ConferenceSPECIAL MENTIONS:Pete Enns
