Parenting Vs Podcast

Yeah, don't hoard the corn. If you hoard the corn, then there's not enough to go around. But seriously, the times we're living in are surreal. People are clearing out grocery stores, buying up all the toilet paper, pasta, meats, canned food, even ramen.

We hope it'll be okay. We also hope this episode finds you well. If you're quarentied, or social distancing, perhaps we can find a spot in our podcast rotation. Thanks if we do.

If you're curious about the enneagram, Sandra has an amazing instagram page found at https://www.instagram.com/familypersonalities/. We suggest you visit. Also, if you're curious about the enneagram, the authors we've been paying attention to are Richard Rohr, Ian Morgan Cron, and Suzanne Stabile.

If you're into ASMR then you'll really be into this episode. But seriously? What's up with ASMR? We just don't understand it. And that's okay. There are things that we don't understand and we don't have to understand. To us though, eating and weird noises can be annoying to each other. That's marriage though, right? We look past the things that annoy us and move forward, looking more towards the things that we love about each other. So, we ask you, dear listener, to do the same. We'll be slurping coffee, and munching on cake, and there's background noise, but let it be endearing. Join us in the coffee shop. Imagine that you're eating cake and sipping on coffee with us. We hope you enjoy this episode!

What does it look like to love yourself? We've both gone through periods of time where we just don't like ourselves. I think it's important to care about yourself so that you're ready to love others. Maybe I'm wrong. We kinda talk through this idea on this episode. Enjoy!

We had a list of topics to discuss and haphazardly went through those topics. Liminal space, gratitude, cults, megachurches, instapot, and an apocalypse were among the topics. Enjoy!

There comes a time in your life... In this episode we discussed what it's like to feel like you've made the wrong decision. We feel like our 30s have been self discovery, trying to discern what is worth dedicating our lives to. It's been a series of mistakes in parenting, in our careers, in our marriage. Now, we're trying to find out where to go. The journey isn't over, but this is us trying to talk through some of it. Enjoy!

In this one we talk about podcasts we listen to, life changes, enneagram, and artistic endeavors.

Lindsey and Ryan's podcast is called What's Up ABQ, and it can be listened to anywhere you get podcasts. Check out their website http://www.whatsupabq.com.

Shout out to Sandra http://www.familypersonalities.com.

We've all got our issues... We all experience privilege in our own way. We're trying to navigate how to have empathy for others, deal with the problems we have, and not minimize the problems of others. (Especially those who we perceive to have more "privilege" than we do.)

And...raising three is hard (for us). But, raising four, even if it's just for a week, is harder.

Enjoy!

Faith has been on our minds. We talk a lot about what bothers us, and faith has been high on that list. Not faith itself, but our own faith. We were brought up with a certain set of expectations, and we don't fit into those expectations at the moment. For most expectations, we don't care very much. But, faith is a big one. We want to live "right". We want to raise our kids in the "right" way. Inclusion and values are also important to us... So, we're kind of left out. We kind of talk about these feelings in this episode. We also sort of just drink beer and shoot the shit. Shoot shit with us! It's fun!

(note: we pulled this episode originally, but decided to publish it anyway...)

Our thoughts differ when it comes to the thought of leaving our kids in the care of a robot. Robot is such a harsh term. AI seems nicer. Anyway, we discuss robot moms, Albuquerque, Lindsey and Ryan's Podcast about Albuquerque, and other things. Enjoy!

We traveled 4,248 km (2,639 mi). From ABQ to Denver to Salina to Vegas to Palm Springs to Laguna Beach to Palm Springs to Phoenix, and back to ABQ. It was a trip. We learned a lot about ourselves, our kids, the road, the cities. It was a blast, and this conversation is about that road trip. Enjoy!
