What if the secret to becoming a better parent isn't doing more for your kids—but doing something entirely for yourself?
When Tatiana Goded talks about rediscovering forgotten dreams, she's not just speaking as a coach—she's speaking from the heart of someone who lived it. After finishing her PhD, the very next day she enrolled in a creative writing course. It was as if she was finally giving herself permission to return to the passion she'd abandoned in high school.
But here's what happened next: she finished the course and stopped writing. Then took another course, loved it, and stopped again. This cycle repeated three times until she finally had her breakthrough moment—when she decided "I'm not stopping writing anymore. This is important to me."
During our conversation, Tatiana reveals the profound shift that changed everything: moving from "filling your cup" to "filling your cup and giving from the overflow." When she started prioritizing her writing—not as a luxury, but as essential fuel—she became a more present, joyful mother to her neurodivergent daughter.
The science backs this up. When we engage in activities that bring us genuine joy, we're not just happier—we're literally rewiring our brains for more positivity, presence, and resilience. Those 15 minutes of morning writing or afternoon painting aren't selfish indulgences; they're investments in becoming the parent your children need.
Tatiana shares the practical framework that works: starting with just 15 minutes a day, doing it first thing in the morning before life takes over, and focusing on three "MITs" (Most Important Things) that fill your cup—not more chores or obligations, but genuine sources of joy.
If you're feeling like you've lost yourself in the endless cycle of caring for everyone else, or if you can barely remember what you used to love doing before kids consumed your world, this conversation will remind you that reclaiming your passions isn't selfish—it's essential. Listen now to discover how reconnecting with your forgotten dreams can make you the parent you've always wanted to be.
