Perfectionism, Parenting & the Stories We Tell Ourselves with Kati Morton (LMFT, Best Selling Author, and Media Personality) (00:49:54)
What if the way we talk to ourselves is shaping our kids, our relationships, and our entire nervous system?
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.
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.
We also dive into:
• Why sharing personal stories helps heal collective shame
• How to communicate big, hard things (like divorce) to kids
• The impact of words, labels, and apologizing as a parent
• Why women feel pressure to constantly prove their worth
• And how real emotional support from friends can change everything
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.
If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing it right,” this conversation is for you.
