Parenting can feel overwhelming in the moments when emotions rise faster than expected. In this LiveTalk, Lucie sits down with mindset and emotional intelligence expert Lorena Seidel - TEDx speaker, two-time MasterClass instructor, and mother of three — to explore what’s really happening beneath the yelling–guilt cycle and why even the best parenting strategies can fall apart in high-stress moments.
Lorena shares practical insights into emotional triggers, reactive patterns, and the Think–Feel–Act cycle, helping parents better understand why reactions happen so quickly and how to interrupt them with more awareness and intention.
Through reflection, practical tools, and compassionate guidance, parents are invited to move beyond shame and perfectionism toward calmer, more connected relationships with their children. This conversation offers a grounded and realistic path toward more intentional parenting — even in the hardest moments.
