213: Embodying Joy as a Grandparent with My Mom, Cindy Linville

In this episode, I sit down with Cindy Linville – my mother and three-peat guest – to discuss all things being a grandparent, from the experience of watching your own children raise children; to the act of meeting children where they are; to witnessing your children mirror your own traits. We talk about what it means to Cindy to not care about what people think, how she and I have experienced setting and respecting boundaries around parenting and the grandparent-child relationship, and how we’ve navigated body talk discussions in our family. She shares the generational differences in parenting she has observed, what it means to find your unique “thing” as a grandparent, and gives her best advice to grandparents who want to be in their grandchildrens’ lives while respecting boundaries.Key Takeaway / Points:On being a grandparent and watching your children raise childrenOn meeting your children where they areOn your children mirroring youUnpacking not caring what people think about youWatching the grandparent relationship growOn setting boundaries and respecting themOn the body talk discussions we’ve had within our familyOn the generational differences in parenting between millennials and baby boomersAdvice for grandparents wanting to be in their grandkids’ lives while respecting boundariesOn respecting the relationship with in-lawsOn finding your unique “thing” as a grandparentCindy’s best fashion and skin care tipsListen to Jay Shetty and Lori Gottblieb’s conversation on boundaries hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
