Healing the Inner Child While Raising One – With Jacintha Field of Happy Souls Kids
In this heartfelt episode of <i>Rawsome Parents</i>, Shaun Tucker sits down with childhood counsellor and founder of <b>Happy Souls Kids</b>, <b>Jacintha Field</b>, to explore the deep emotional journey of parenting, healing through separation, and teaching kids self-regulation through play, story, and mindfulness. Jacintha opens up about how her personal challenges as a single parent during the pandemic led to the creation of Happy Souls Kids—a platform that helps children (and their parents) develop emotional resilience. This conversation is a powerful reminder that our kids don’t need perfect parents; they need <i>authentic ones</i>.<br /><b>🔑 Key Takeaways:</b><br /><b></b><br /><b>1. Emotional Literacy Starts with the Parent</b><br /><ul><li>Kids mirror their caregivers. Healing begins when parents model self-awareness, honesty, and emotional regulation.</li><li>Instead of pretending everything is fine, share age-appropriate emotions with your kids. “I’m feeling sad today” teaches them it's safe to feel.</li></ul><b>2. Pain Fuels Purpose</b><ul><li>Jacintha’s son's emotional distress during COVID and their family’s separation catalyzed her journey into child counselling.</li><li>Her healing path became the foundation of her mission: to help 100,000 kids develop emotional resilience by 2027.</li></ul><b>3. Kids Don’t Need Fixing—They Need Tools</b><ul><li>Through storytelling, role models like LeBron James, and engaging content, Happy Souls Kids helps kids manage anxiety and understand big emotions.</li><li>The goal isn't screen time—it’s real-world application of emotional skills with their caregivers.</li></ul><b>4. Single Parenting Truths (Unfiltered)</b><ul><li>Jacintha speaks candidly about doing 99% of the parenting solo—and the emotional cost of separation.</li><li>She sheds light on the invisible labor and judgment single mums often face, while balancing healing, parenting, and survival.</li></ul><b>5. Celebrating the Small Wins</b><ul><li>Healing isn't a destination. It’s a lifelong act of softening and learning.</li><li>Parents must prioritize joy, play, and connection—not just for their kids, but for themselves.</li></ul><b>6. Healing the Family Line</b><ul><li>Moving back to Melbourne to be closer to family became a surprising opportunity to repair intergenerational wounds and rebuild trust.</li><li>Sometimes healing comes full circle—in the relationships we once struggled with.</li></ul><br /><b>💬 Memorable Quotes:</b><br />“You can't be soft with your children if you're still so hard on yourself.” — Jacintha Field<br />“Kids don’t need us to be perfect. They need us to be real.” — Shaun Tucker<br />“Healing is not something you <i>do</i>—it’s how you <i>be</i>.”— Jacintha Field<br /><b>📲 Connect with Jacintha:</b><ul><li>Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/jacinthafield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@jacinthafield</a></li><li>Website: <a href="https://www.happysoulskids.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.happysoulskids.com</a></li><li>TikTok, Facebook & IG: Coming soon under <i>Happy Souls Kids</i></li></ul><br /><b>🎧 If you loved this episode:</b><br />Subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a parent who’s doing their best. Because healing is a team effort, and parenting doesn’t have to feel like a solo mission.
