Kappadakunnel comes to GPS with a compassionate and powerful guide that demonstrates you can still be a great parent even if you didn’t have one yourself.

She argues that the secret to successful parenting is to UN-learn the wounded patterns you might have grown up with and understand how your upbringing may be impacting your parenting style in ways you don’t fully recognize. Healing allows a parent or caregiver to reshape their parenting for good and truly connect with their children while guiding them to live the happy, authentic lives that they deserves.

Kappadakunnel is a licensed marriage and family therapist, an infant/early childhood mental health specialist, and a perinatal mental health specialist. She is the CEO and founder of Conscious Mommy, and Child Parent Connection. She is the author of “Parent Yourself First: Raise Confident, Compassionate, Kids by Becoming the Parent You Wish You’d Had.”
