In this The Mindful Living Podcast episode, host Sana sits down with Rachel Brown to unpack a hard truth. if we do not deal with our own trauma, stress, and people pleasing, our children end up carrying the emotional bill. Rachel shares how chronic illness, IVF, career burnout and a full nervous system finally forced her to stop chasing the next fix and start listening to her body.

Together, they explore how generational stress, perfectionism, and “good girl” conditioning quietly shape motherhood, marriage, and identity. This is a straight talking conversation about conscious parenting, emotional regulation, boundaries with family, and why five minutes of intentional self care can shift the entire atmosphere at home.

If you are a tired parent who snaps, regrets it, and then lies awake replaying the day, this episode shows you how to start reclaiming wholeness so your kids do not have to heal from your pain later. grounded, practical, and focused on real life homes, not Instagram versions of parenting.

About the Guest:

Rachel Brown is a UK based holistic practitioner, former pharmacist and teacher, and a mother of two boys, whose journey through chronic illness, IVF, burnout, and a breakdown led her into deep work around emotional healing and generational stress. Drawing on holistic therapies, nervous system work, and energy based practices, she now supports mothers to stop living in survival mode, release inherited emotional burdens, and model healthier patterns for their children. Through her Conscious Motherhood Collective community, Rachel helps women move from people pleasing and exhaustion to grounded self trust, emotional responsibility, and more aligned parenting.

Key Takeaways:

  Breaking generational stress starts with one honest adult willing to stop people pleasing, set boundaries, and model nervous system care at home.

  
  


• 
  

  Rachel shows how chronic illness, IVF, career burnout, and perfectionism are signals, not failures, pointing parents back to alignment and self-trust.

  
  


• 
  

  Emotional regulation is a daily practice. pause, breathe, name the trigger, choose a calmer response, and repair with your child instead of shutting down.

  
  


• 
  

  Kids do not need perfect parents. they need caregivers who apologise, share feelings in age-appropriate ways, and demonstrate emotional responsibility.

  
  


• 
  

  Unprocessed grief, war trauma, and scarcity beliefs can live in the body for generations. conscious parenting means doing the inner work so our kids do not carry that load.

  Five minutes of non-negotiable self-care. a bath, a walk, or quiet breathing. can interrupt survival mode and open space for more grounded choices.

  Community and support matter. mothers need spaces like Conscious Motherhood Collective to be witnessed, regulated, and reminded they are not alone.

  When parents show up as their true selves instead of who society expects them to be, children learn that their own authenticity is safe and non-negotiable.
