The Still Space Podcast

Do you ever look at the world and wonder why with so much beauty around us there is so much tension? Why at work, when there is a sound mission there are still personal agendas, bureaucracy, posturing g and cynicism? Why at home there is so much love, yet there is so much conflict? Why when we know we want better relationships, we still keep doing the same behaviors that keep us stuck? Why with your free time there are things you care about, but there never seems to be enough time to get to them. In this episode we talk about how understanding the difference between what you need and what you want opens the door to clarity about how to stop the stuck behaviors that bring more suffering.

If you are waiting for your children to tell you what a great parent you are, you are most likely going to be waiting a very long time. They go on living their lives, making their choices, and creating the life that they want without what may seem like a whole lot of regard for you. This is how they develop independence. In this episode we examine our own motivations and learn new ways to prioritize close relationships with our children without control as our guide.

Whether your children are toddlers or adults, parenting never stops. Your responsibility to them is ongoing. Your emotional attachment to them continues indefinitely regardless of how close you are.

You could find your relationships dependent on the connections of your children. After all, you're the parent. You're responsible. It all falls to you, right? In this episode we explore how to approach the expectations and disappointments of parenting.
