    The Hard Truth About Healing: Why Parents MUST Do Their Own Work Description:

    Ready for some real talk on parenting and self-healing? In this episode of Philippa Squared: Parenting by Design, our hosts Philippa Scott and Philippa Cox team up with the powerful voice of Philippa Robinson—a coach, lawyer, and trauma survivor—to pull back the curtain on why parents MUST do the hard work on themselves to give their kids the best shot. We’re calling out the excuses, the guilt trips, and the “just-surviving” mindsets, all with compassion but zero sugar-coating. Philippa opens up about her journey from a pressure-cooker legal career to confronting childhood wounds she didn’t even know were still hurting her. This episode is an invitation to stop the cycle of silent suffering and start a journey that’s life-changing for you and your family. Let’s face it: doing your own work is the biggest gift you’ll ever give to your children.
