Redefine Love & Worth

💔 Understanding Financial Responsibility and Love: It's crucial to recognize that proving your worth through financial responsibility shouldn't be a measure of love. If you feel this pressure, it often stems from gaps in how love and support were provided during childhood.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Impact on Identity: When our identity is tied to doing things for others to receive love, it creates an unending gap because these expectations are often unattainable. This gap affects our self-worth and financial behavior.

🌱 Proactive Parenting: To avoid having to """"retro parent"""" when your kids are older, focus on being present and nurturing them now. Providing them with quality time and emotional support early on can prevent future issues and help them grow into well-rounded adults.

🔄 Self-Nurturing: Just as with parenting, it’s important to address your own needs and gaps early on. Acknowledge any shortcomings in your upbringing and work to heal and nurture yourself to build a more stable identity.
