“I think there is a lot to do if you're a parent, to just work on awareness, you know, work on presence, rethink your own childhood. I think that makes us automatically become better parents.”
Parenthood is a complex journey, and Shama Persson knows this all too well. In this episode of 'From Darkness to Light', Shama opens up about her personal experiences with childhood trauma, addiction, anxiety, and even suicide attempts, and how these have shaped her approach to parenting. She talks candidly about the importance of self-care for parents, urging them to take time for themselves so they can be fully present for their children.
Shama also emphasizes the need to rethink our own childhoods, suggesting that understanding our past can help us avoid passing down our struggles to the next generation.

Whether you're a parent yourself or simply interested in personal growth, Shama's insights provide valuable lessons on how to navigate the challenges of raising children while healing from your own past.
