Front Line Families & Family Life
Show Notes:
Today we are continuing in our series on front line families and the topic today is around family life and cultivating a legacy with intention. During this episode I invite you to think back and reflect on your own experiences within your family of origin; your experiences throughout your lifespan; and the multi-generational impacts that continue to show up and inform who and how you are today. I encourage you to work at engaging similarly in understanding the context and “baggage” of others in your life who you are close with.
During this episode we talk about how our experiences shape us, and can have deep impact in our present-day lives if left unchecked. We discuss the process of looking at our context and growing awareness of the ongoing impact that our experiences have for us. From there, we talk about how awareness arms us with the ability to have power over our experiences and be intentional in shaping how we continue to allow these to influence our lives. We talk about the idea of legacy and being a “legacy change-maker” – anchoring to how we want to be remembered and living into being the kind of person I hope others would see me as.
It is hard to summarize today’s episode, so I am going to encourage you to listen carefully and revisit this one if it’s helpful. I also think that this topic is extremely needed, and I hope that you will share it with those in your life that you think would benefit.
**If there are other concerns that come up often in your home that you would like me to tackle in another episode, shoot me an email at [email protected] and let me know.
