She Can Have Cheese
from Tawana Talks: Nurturing the Woman Behind Their Child’s ADHD Diagnosis · host Tawana L. Wiggins
In Episode 3 of "Tawana Talks," titled "She Can Have Cheese," I'm taking a moment to explore the profound concept of child-like boldness and its impact on how we pursue what we truly desire in life. This episode is a journey back to the essence of our most authentic, unfiltered selves—those versions of us that knew no barriers, those who believed in the simple yet powerful mantra: If I want it, I can have it. I delve into the ways our adult selves have become accustomed to seeing the world through a lens of limitations and rules. These aren't just societal norms but also the self-imposed barriers that we believe are there to protect us. However, more often than not, they serve as a stop sign to our desires and needs. I argue that while knowledge and awareness of the 'rules' are essential, they shouldn't always be the reason we halt our steps toward what we seek. In "She Can Have Cheese," I reflect on the beautiful, innocent ignorance of a child's mind and their ability to see possibilities where adults see obstacles. It's a call to rediscover our innate boldness, to ask, reach out, and pursue with the same undeterred confidence of a child who believes the world is theirs for the taking. This episode is an invitation to challenge the norms, to creatively navigate the 'rules,' and to remember that sometimes, the only thing stopping us is our perception of what is possible. Let's embrace the child-like audacity to go after what we want, to break down the barriers we've built around ourselves, and to say, with conviction, "She Can Have Cheese." Join me as we rekindle the flames of boldness and audacity in our lives, reminding ourselves that it's not just about getting what we want; it's about believing we deserve to have it.
