<p>What if the way we talk to ourselves is shaping our kids, our relationships, and our entire nervous system?</p> <p>In this powerful and deeply human episode of EmotionAL Support, I sit down with licensed therapist, author, and mental health educator Kati Morton to talk about the conversations we don’t have enough — perfectionism, parenting through mistakes, staying in unhealthy relationships, and why kids often blame themselves for things that were never their fault.</p> <p>Kati breaks down mental health in a way that feels accessible, honest, and deeply relatable — from why perfectionism fuels negative self-talk, to how our physical and emotional health are inseparable, to the importance of letting children fail so they can actually grow.</p> <p>We also dive into:<br> • Why sharing personal stories helps heal collective shame<br> • How to communicate big, hard things (like divorce) to kids<br> • The impact of words, labels, and apologizing as a parent<br> • Why women feel pressure to constantly prove their worth<br> • And how real emotional support from friends can change everything</p> <p>This episode isn’t about having it all figured out — it’s about showing up human, breaking unhealthy patterns, and learning how to talk about emotions in a way that actually helps.</p> <p>If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing it right,” this conversation is for you.</p> <p><a href='https://katimorton.com/'>https://katimorton.com/</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/katimorton/'>https://www.instagram.com/katimorton/</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/alessandratorresani/'>https://www.instagram.com/alessandratorresani/</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
