Episode 17: Conscious parenting and equipping the next generation with self-love – with Emily McGuirk
In this week’s episode, we dive into conscious parenting and how to teach self-love and self-belief to children and teenagers. Emily McGuirk is the inspiring and passionate entrepreneur behind Small Steps Big Vision, a personal development program for young women between 14 and 25. Her work is centred around championing girls to love who they are and to know what they want; empowering them with the tools to unlock their fullest potential.
Emily studied acting and musical theatre at Drama Centre London and Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg. She enjoyed an exciting career as an actress and drama teacher and even managed to get a number one selling single under her belt. But when she moved to Italy with her husband, her lack of purpose led her to fall into a deep depression. This was a huge turning point in her mental health and career path as she discovered personal development and began an online business in the health and wellness sector.
Emily shares her tips on how to encourage the healthy expression of emotions, how to teach children to find joy in mundane and routine tasks (the secret lies in intention!) and how to embrace the very best of who you are in order to inspire others to be the best version of themselves.
“When you raise the bar, you allow everyone else to do the same.” – Emily McGuirk
Emily’s five tips to being a conscious parent
1 – Find a way to love who you are (Emily joined my 12 Step Self-Love Transformation and found it invaluable to the work she is now doing: https://ginaswire.com/12-step-self-love-transformation-main-2021/).
2 – Become conscious of the language you use in your head and with your kids, and become comfortable with saying sorry when you get it wrong.
3 – Remember that it’s essential to fill your cup
4 – Welcome and embrace all emotions.
5 – Set an intention at the start of each day and discover new ways to find joy in your daily life.
