Why isn't one step at a time ok in this crazy life???--- YES! at all ages and stages!!!
"I was standing in line like a regular person and a guy starts shooing me away." - Guest 19
The tone, the comment, the denial, the looking the other way...(the audio is a little yucky on this one, but the content is FIRE!!!)
Should we treat kids like adults? What happens when we treat kids like kids? What if we treated our kids as equals? Will there be an uprising? Or will there be peace?
Is it our place to tell people that what they are doing isn't enough?What if it's the season of preparation? What is something is brewing?Can we give our kids more credit for what they are up to? PLEASE?
Teenagers have so much pressure on them. The impact of living a life based on fear is tragic. Teach your kids to make the best decision for THEM because they have to live with it.(please forgive the background noise!)
Understanding + Non-Judgment + Nonattachment = YES!!!Don't make your kids fight for their freedom.
People aren't a recipe. Parents won't get far putting their own wants on their kids. Alternative Healthier View: Just listen to your kid. Nurture whatever they are interested in. Let kids figure themselves out and SUPPORT them along the way.
"I can relate to my mom because I've gone through a lot of the same stuff she went though. I have sympathy for her." -Guest 11
A Case for Self Improvement"When you're raised one way, it is kind of hard for you to shift your way of action and thinking because you're environment causes you to form habits or thoughts you may have not consciously accepted, but subconsciously creep into the way that you naturally behave." -Guest 13
"My friends have helped me become more mature...They helped me realize there's a much better way to look at things that are going on in the world- a much more mature way, without being condescending." -Guest 12
"All you can do in life is to...do! That's action. That's all you have. Being able to take advantage of these actions...and increase your experience, your knowledge, your wisdom...if you can, you should." -Guest 10
"It takes a really long time to realize that you are 100% completely in charge of your life and that you can control some if not most of what happens to you...you're the only one who can say yes and no to anything in your whole life. No one else can make those decisions for you." -Guest 9Forgive the guest's audio quality! We had some trouble, but the convo is still really amazing.
"My mom's knowledge does not fit into who I am so she doubts my knowledge of myself.""I think it's human nature that people are comfortable with what they already know. If you make room for something then that might open your mind and make you realize you're wrong about something else which may make you realize that you're wrong about something else and create this catalyst of things that completely changes your entire reality--and I think most people don't want that." -Guest 8
"I don't know if I like myself because I like myself or if it's for the things that other people like about me." ...deep talk regarding social media.When you realize the intention behind your parents' nagging, you can handle talking to them better.
"When you're not allowed to be authentic, it really harms your mental health and it really takes a toll.""Sometimes parents provoke [or ignore] kids which forces them to get louder and louder and then treat them like an inconvenience for being loud."
Kids don't want to be stereotyped, but neither do parents.
"Strict parents make sneaky kids." - Guest 4Generational TraumaWhen kids WISH their parents would get a divorce instead of stay together "for the kids"When parents are jealous of their kids for the VERY opportunities they wanted to provide for themHow kids can have more compassion for their parents and help bring their parents' spark back
