How to Make Mistakes
from Unprocessed · host Lia Avellino
This week, I invite my 7 year old daughter on the podcast to talk about our relationship with mistakes. She shares about how she disliked her mistakes and what she did to shift that. I share about how I learned to hide my mistakes to secure belonging (an important fear-driven behavior that perfectionists take, as well as people who have marginalized identities), and how this podcast has helped me expose and celebrate them. Also, we add ways well meaning caregivers try to convince their kids their mistakes aren't real, rather than leaning into the fact that we all make mistakes, we shouldn't stop--but we can honor them together.
