Conquering the Fear of Failure Through Raising a Daughter

07/11/20 • 32 min

In this week's episode, Becca and Andrea discuss the topic of "fear of failure". It is something that Andrea has always struggled with and Becca... not so much. Was this fearlessness due to nature or nurture for Becca? Tune in to learn how Andrea (along with the rest of the family) raised Becca to not fear failure but to embrace it.
Becca revels over the fact that Andrea has instilled this willingness to fail and learn from mistakes without having self-doubt, and yet, Andrea has had this insecurity for so long. How can a parent raise a child to have such a strong trait, yet struggle with it themselves? What makes you afraid of failure? Have you been supported and encouraged to fall down and stand up even stronger, and how can we continue to learn how to do that?

Evolution... or revolution with Krissa & Karen Lamore

In this week's episode, Becca and Andrea interview Krissa and Karen Lamore. Krissa and Karen lead us through the topic of evolution and what that means for a mother-daughter relationship. Join Becca and Andrea as they learn about Krissa's 4 years in Hawaii where she went to WOOF (Work on Organic Farms), came back with a financé, and was supposed to travel around the USA in a trailer...but Krissa EVOLVED and it ended up being a transition into the passion-filled life that she lives today.
Tune in to hear about Krissa's journey and how her mom, Karen, guided her through it. Karen explains how the best way of helping in that time of evolution was not by dictating how she thought or wanted Krissa's life to go, but by asking her questions so she could answer to herself what she really wanted and needed most.
Evolution is something that everyone goes through, in all phases of life...after all, it is human nature. Evolution is not easy; it often comes with frustration and pain, but always results in the satisfaction of getting closer to our truest selves.

Transitions: Becca Moves Out...

Becca has moved out and into her apartment near her university and Andrea is still at home. Becca and Andrea dive into a difficult and honest conversation on why Becca was so adamant about moving out and how Andrea feels about all of this.
It is a strange feeling when you realize for the first time that as much as you want to take the positive things you learned from your parents into your adult life, that there are also things you don't want to take with you. This is a weird and difficult transition for both the child and the parent. Do parents get offended by hearing this even though they may think the same way about their own parents? By engaging in this discussion, Becca and Andrea say some pretty hard things, but discover a common ground of mutual respect. Tune in to get to TEA!
