Episode 55: Disappointment Oct 28, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, we talk about disappointment - including how it is often seen as a ‘lesser’ feeling, differentiating the feeling from the judgment, and offering helpful ways we can be with our own disappointment and that of our child/ren. We share about our own experiences of disappointment and how we came to embrace it in ourselves and our children, and discovered the gifts that it brings.

Episode 52: Loss and death by Marion Rose, PhD.

Episode 51: Boundaries Sep 08, 2020

Show notes

In today’s episode we talk about boundaries, or what Marion calls “saying no.” We explain the innate capacity we all have to know when we feel a ‘yes’ and when we feel a ’no,’ and how growing up in a colonised culture disconnects us from easily knowing and expressing our “no’s.” We share about how experiences of having love removed when we said “no”, or being shamed or punished, lead us to feel uncomfortable with clearly speaking our “no” as adults. Lael talks about inviting parents to reflect on their imprints from what happened in their families growing up, and how that is impacting them now. Lael also shares reasons why parents can be reluctant to say, “no” to their children, which can include knowing that saying “no” will help children connect with either disappointment about not getting their needs met, or bigger feelings that were causing unenjoyable behaviour in the first place. We both talk about how reconnecting with and befriending our childhood experiences of powerlessness and outrage is an important stage of the journey. Marion talks about the difference between when we simply don’t want to do something and when we want to stop something unenjoyable from happening, either with a child or an adult. In the first scenario, we might simply say “no” to our child or another adult when we don’t want to do something. In the second scenario, we can set a Loving Limit with a child who is hitting, biting or throwing - (saying “no” to the behaviour and “yes” to the feelings that are causing the behaviour), and we can express a Neo No to an adult. As we were talking, we both get really passionate about how important it is for mothers to reclaim our capacity to say a Neo No within the domination system, particularly in birth and parenting. We LOVED recording this and wonder if you love it too!

Episode 50: Anxiety Sep 03, 2020

Show notes

In this podcast, we talk about understanding the three causes for fear and anxiety, and how we can address each of those causes, whether that’s for our child or ourselves. We share stories about our own experiences with fear, anxiety and terror, and how we’ve helped ourselves and our children through experiences where fear and anxiety have showed up. Understanding fear and anxiety, and changing our relationship to it, can transform our experience with it. Likewise, knowing how we can help our children, both preventatively, in the moment and afterwards, can help us feel more relaxed and centred, which is exactly how we need to be to support our children when they’re feeling anxious.
