THE MASK WE WEAR AND THE SELF WE’VE LEFT BEHIND – Conscious Parenting with Jenna Dias.
You are trying so hard to be a good parent. And yet somehow you still find yourself standing in the kitchen at 7am, voice three octaves higher than you intended, wondering — *where did that come from?
It came from somewhere. And in this talk, we are going to find out exactly where?
Waking Up at the Wheel is an honest, deeply human, and genuinely transformative exploration of conscious parenting — not the Instagram version, not the perfect version, but the real one. The one that starts not with your child, but with you.
Jenna is a Conscious Parenting and life Coach and a registered counsellor — and a mum who doesn’t always get it right. Drawing on the work of Dr. Shefali Tsabary, whom she studied under she will guide you through why most of us are not parenting from our adult selves, but from our past — from wounds we didn’t choose, patterns we never questioned, and a nervous system that learned long ago that control was the only way to feel safe.
In this session you will explore:
– Why you react the way you do — and what your triggers are really telling you
– The three parts of self that show up in your parenting: the inner child frozen in the past, the ego performing in the present, and the authentic self-waiting to lead
– A powerful mask activity that will help you see — perhaps for the first time — the gap between who you show the world and what you are actually carrying inside
This is not a talk about doing more or getting it right. It is an invitation to pull over, look at who has been driving, and — with compassion and curiosity — gently take back the wheel.
Come as you are. Leave changed.
