43 - The Privilege of Being a Fool: An Interview with Margy Davis-Mintun

Is one of your greatest fears not getting things “right” and/or seeming like a fool?Retired psychotherapist Margy Davis-Mintun suggests that being a fool in life at times is not only inevitable, it’s actually a privilege because it signifies that we have opportunities to learn and grow.  In this week’s episode, Elizabeth Mintun offers a short and powerful interview with Margy revealing her wisdom and insight into the beauty of making mistakes and the power of allowing ourselves the permission and space to be vulnerably human. Key Takeaways: Making mistakes is part of life; we can offer ourselves grace through the reframe of seeing foolishness and mistakes as part of our lifelong growing process rather than shunning ourselves. “Shoulds” were handed to us by others at some point in our lives; we inherit them. As we grow, we can decide whether or not we ascribe to those values and rules in our life. Resources: https://www.thecalmingground.com/free-guided-meditation“I love Elizabeth and The Calming Ground Podcast.” If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
