Mental Health Quote
“Every part of you is welcome. Every big feeling has a place.” — Inspired by Jacintha Field
Episode Description
When Jacintha Field’s son started school during COVID, her world was already upside down. She was navigating a brutal separation, solo parenting, and the emotional fallout of a child who didn’t yet have the words or tools to explain what was happening inside. His outbursts were intense. Her heart was breaking. And with child mental health waitlists stretching six to twelve months, Jacintha did what so many parents do when there are no easy answers — she went looking for them herself.
In this deeply honest episode, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles sit down with Jacintha, a Family and Child Counselor, Art Therapist, and founder of Happy Souls Kids, to talk about trauma, parenting, sobriety, self-compassion, and the messy beauty of learning as you go. Jacintha shares how surviving domestic violence, getting sober, and rebuilding her life helped her understand that healing is not about being perfect. It is about repairing the rupture, naming the feeling, and choosing connection over shame.
This conversation is for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who has ever wondered, “Am I messing this up?” Jacintha reminds us that kids do not need perfect adults. They need safe ones. And sometimes, the most powerful thing we can say is, “I’m here. We’re a team. We’ll figure this out together.”

Key Takeaways
Kids are not “bad” when they have big emotions — they are often overwhelmed and asking for safety in the only way they know how.
Self-compassion is not optional in parenting. The kinder we are to ourselves, the safer we can become for our children.
Emotional literacy starts small: naming feelings, drawing them, talking about them, and giving kids space to understand what is happening inside.
Connection comes before correction. Sometimes a game of Uno does more healing than a lecture ever could.
Parents do not have to be perfect. Repair, accountability, and honesty matter more than pr
