Vulnerability. It's kind of a buzzword, but what is it really? It's something you choose to do every day. It's living a wholehearted and open-hearted life. It's knowing you're enough no matter what life throws at you. Being vulnerable allows us to make sincere connections with others. In this episode, we dig deep into this topic and discuss what traits a wholehearted person has and how we each can work to cultivate it more in our life.

051: Kids + Agency (with Merrilee Boyack) Sep 04, 2019

Show notes

With a super-impressive bio (think: attorney, renowned public speaker, author of 13 books, family advocate, not to mention mother, wife, and grandma) Merrilee Boyak is full of wisdom, especially when it comes to raising independent and capable kids. In this episode, we glean from her years of experience as she shares why it's so important to train your kids to be independent, why you should let your kids fail, and why we shouldn't bail our kids out when they get into a bind. Through humorous stories and in a fun, upbeat style that is all Merrilee, you'll learn how agency plays a part in rearing children. And you actually might be a little excited next time your little cherub forgets an assignment so you can teach him through natural consequences.

After last week's episode with Miranda Anderson and talking about her family's experience not buying non-consumables for an entire year, we both thought about what it meant in our lives. We read her book and now we're talking! We share some pretty deep thoughts about personally applying some things, inspired by the book, and BP tells of her experience participating in her own 30-day limited-spending challenge. You might be surprised at what not letting her daughter buy a $1 pencil did to her! Settle in and listen to how we are implementing Miranda's teachings and how we're learning when enough is enough.
