Motherhood Is a Mirror: What Our Kids Reflect Back

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Alisha explores the idea that motherhood acts as a mirror—reflecting back not only the values and habits we model, but also the parts of ourselves we may still be healing. With tenderness and honesty, she shares personal stories, including a transformative moment during her postpartum journey with twins, and offers practical tools for moving from reactivity to reflection.

Listeners will feel seen, supported, and gently challenged to look at their parenting through a new lens—not as a measure of perfection, but as a sacred opportunity for growth, repair, and love.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• How kids mirror our behaviors, beliefs, and emotions (even when we’re not aware)
• The connection between our children’s traits and our own unhealed inner child
• The difference between reacting and reflecting as a parent
• A vulnerable story that shifted how Alisha sees grace and repair in motherhood
• Gentle reflection prompts and tangible tools for more conscious parenting

Reflection Questions from the Episode:

• What do I see my child reflecting back to me right now?
• What part of me feels proud? Tender? In need of healing?
• How can I offer myself the same grace I offer my child?
• What do I want my children to remember—not about how perfect I was, but about how I loved them?
