The First Step to Emerging as a Parent

 Being a parent can be stressful and challenging at times. But the flip side of that same coin is that our children can be our most outstanding teachers. Life is a perspective game; if something feels off, take a moment to step away and come back fresh. We all know that, but dang it, I want to give you license not to know what's going to happen, and you to still show up as your best self more of the time. We're going to talk about how parenting is like riding a roller coaster. Sometimes it's scary and exciting, but it can also keep your heart pounding for hours after you've left the ride. We'll talk about how parenting teaches us what it means to be vulnerable and authentic in this crazy world we live in today where everyone wants instant gratification and no one wants to hear about your struggles or failures because they don't want their lives interrupted by someone else's problems. And then we're going to talk about how parenting teaches us how much patience we have inside ourselves—how much compassion we have for others—and whether or not those things have always been there but are just coming out now because they've been pushed down deep inside us by years of fear-based thinking? https://anchor.fm/danny-cobbin8/message
