Episode 53: The Strength of Stories – Our Own and Our Children’s

from Virtual Kitchen Table · host Erin

We happily welcomed Pam Laricchia, Anna Brown and Erika Ellis from www.livingjoyfully.ca to discuss the topic of Stories. Pam, Anna and Erika have spoken in depth about the nuances and choices within the stories we tell both ourselves and others.  In this conversation we explore what it is about looking at things through the lens of stories, and the flexibility within those stories, that is so powerful, how the past stories that we carry about ourselves and our children impact the way we see things and show up in our role as parent.  We also talk about how we can support our children in the way they see or tell their stories.  Resources: Living Joyfully PodcastExploring Unschooling PodcastLiving Joyfully NetworkExploring Unschooling Podcast Episode 404: Foundations: StoriesTaking a Kinder Path – The Power of Words and the Stories We Tell Ourselves
