Trail Blazers & Chain Breakers

Frederick Douglass said "It's easier to build strong children than repair broken men."  This is deeply true, but the reality for most of us is that we must reparent ourselves into strong men & women in order to be the parents the can raise strong children.  In today's episode, we talk: raising strong kids, reparenting yourself, letting your kids question you, what it's like to get called out by your kids & more! 

Just a warning: we do occasionally swear in these episodes.  We don't curse like sailors, but if you are listening with younger kids around, we warned you!

It may not be what you want to hear, but what upsets you in other people reveals more about you than them. This is especially true in your close relationships. In today's episode, we talk "always" & "never," repeating patterns, what your kids are here to teach you & more!

Just a warning: we do occasionally swear in these episodes.  We don't curse like sailors, but if you are listening with younger kids around, we warned you!

Blame is a dangerous game. It's easy to externalize all of our problems because it feels safer to blame others, but blaming ourselves isn't the answer either. In today's episode we talk blame, how taking responsibility is different than blaming yourself, parenting mistakes and more!

Here's the bottom line: we see others as a mirror of ourselves. This means that the things that anger us in other people can be incredibly informative of where we need to grow. What does that even mean? In today's episode, we go deep on this, the things we admire in others, role models vs anti-models & more!

It seems like common sense that to get to where we want to go, we need to walk away from where we've been... but there are a number of hidden ways that we can be clinging to the past. In today's episode, we talk the stories that we tell ourselves, love vs. fear, creating the exact situations we don't want, and more!

"Should" can become a dominating force in our life if we're not paying attention. They signal stories and expectations that we are creating, and today's expectations become tomorrow's resentments. In today's episode we talk about always and never, why maybe your kids should NOT be listening to you, the damage that expectations can do in relationships, and more!

"If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm." We've all heard this quote before, but how do we apply it to our lives, our relationships, our own growth? In this episode we dive deep on what an enemy is, the enemy within our relationships, fears, insecurities & more!

There are so many people debating & theorizing about what makes a good man (or a good woman) these days... and while these conversations are worthwhile, too many people putting in their "2 cents," aren't actually doing what they say others should do. The debate has distracted from the actual doing. Marcus Aurelius said, "Waste no time arguing what a good man should be. Be one."

C.S. Lewis says "When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind." When you're going against the grain, it can sometimes feel like you're crazy, and others will probably treat you like you are! In today's episode, we cover why other people are threatened by your growth, what "crabs in a bucket" are, going against the grain & more!
