TWINTALK: We Take Our Role, Not Ourselves, Seriously / Empowerment

from Upbringing · host Hannah + Kelty

Today on the podcast we explore how to separate what we do from who we are. When approaching a challenge with our children, are we in work-mode or worth-mode? We ponder the values AND limits of titles (even Mom) - how they can both empower and undermine our parenting. Taking our role (and not ourselves) seriously requires we become aware of the way our ego can unwittingly limit our ability to care-give. We laugh, we cry, we lean in.

How NOT to be a Miserable Cow Alison Capra A gypsy's guide to life, love and the pursuit of happiness for a clever girl with a big heart, passion for life, and strong convictions. Too often we release "bad behavior" to personality types or even our upbringing. On my quest for personal growth, I have identified what's making us ugly people, and if we refuse to to identify them within ourselves we will become a Miserable Cows. www.alisoncapra.com Explicit Outliers: The Story of Success Free Education In this stunning book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different?His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
