Moving Beyond the Carrot and the Stick

from Woman Uncaged · host Laura Gates-Lupton and Linda Katz

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!Welcome to episode 4, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In today's episode we dive into how to move beyond the carrot and the stick in our relationships with ourselves, with how we raise children, how we train dogs, and how we relate to one another. We live in a paradigm that is dependent upon, and celebrates, punishment and reward as heathy ways to engineer the behavior we want, but what if there was another way? What if using the carrot and the stick actually comes at the cost of relationship and sends the feelings that drive behavior underground (only for them to pop up elsewhere at another time)? In this episode, Laura and Linda explore whether behaviors, wanted or not, could be met by the presence of the conscious mother within, and instead of resorting to the carrot or the stick we could create the internal and external conditions that are truly required for growth and blossoming.Resources Mentioned:DOGS Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dogs/id1674962407Rutger Bregman on A Life of Greatness Podcast with Sarah Grynberg:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/rutger-bregman-how-small-acts-of-courage-change-the-world/id1457268944?i=1000723484406Qoya: www.qoya.love Lianne Raymond Coaching: https://www.lianneraymond.com/Smarter, Faster, Better by Charles Duhigg: https://www.amazon.com/Smarter-Faster-Better-Productive-Business/dp/081299339XSupport the show~Linda's book: Homecoming: One Woman's Story of Dismantling Her Inner Cage and Freeing Her Wild Feminine Soul   ~Laura's Monday Money Missives: https://goodwithmoney.substack.com/~Linda's Wild Woman in the Burbs: https://lindasewalliuskatz.substack.com/Support the Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2281161/supporters/newEmail us: [email protected].
