Licensed marriage and family therapist Souraya Matar joins host Sonia Dong in this episode of Raising the Next Gen. Souraya opens up about the challenges of early motherhood, seeking out postpartum support, and how becoming a certified parenting coach helped her shift from reactive to conscious parenting.
Together, they explore the power of self-awareness, breaking generational cycles, and creating calmer, more connected relationships with our kids. From toddlers to teens, Souraya and Sonia discuss how to meet your child’s emotional needs while also honouring your own, and how to let go of control in favour of trust and authenticity.
This episode is a reminder that it's never too late to rewrite your parenting story—and that growth starts with you.
