EP 535: A Tragic Personal Story that Shows the Importance of Connection

As my Son turned 10 years old yesterday, I reflected on the old adages I constantly hear from parents: ‘They grow up so fast!’ ‘You blink and you miss it!’ ‘Where did the time go???’ As a mindfulness coach, I’ve told many parents that it’s not so much that the time went particularly fast or slow. In fact, time did exactly the same thing time has always done. The difference is how you paid attention to what was happening as it was happening. And it has nothing at all to do with how busy you are!!! As we attend to each arising moment of our lives as parents, we are able to build healthy and vital connections. Connection to our authentic self and connection to those we love. In today’s episode, I share a tragic personal story of my father, a man so conditioned by fear he was unable to connect to his authenticity: If anything I’ve said today resonates with you, I want you to know two things: First, the time to build connection to your authentic self and those around you is now. In this moment. Second, it’s never too late!
