Your internal compass—which is affected by your beliefs, thoughts, values, habits, and daily narratives—has a huge impact on your health and ability to adapt to the not-so-sweet moments of life. Ultimately, your internal state will color your external world. But life is messy, and it’s okay to feel weak, uncertain, or scared.

Today’s talk with Susan David is a powerful one. She explains why it’s important to recognize and come to terms with our whole range of emotions, because only then can we truly embrace the beauty of life as well.

210. Hold their heart to capture their mind, featuring Dr. Gordon Neufeld

Sometimes it seems like as parents we work so hard to find the best way to parent our kiddos, only to miss the mark. Parenting strategies can be helpful, but if we’re not paying attention to the big picture of building real connection, we lose sight of what matters.

Dr. Gordon Neufeld is a developmental psychologist and author, whose ideas are based on the attachment theory of parenting. The way he dissects his thoughts today is almost poetic, as he explains why relationship and connection matter more than anything else we could possibly try to do.

212. The path to radical love, featuring Dr. Traci Baxley

As parents, we get it wrong a lot of the time. But the truth is that our kids feel perfect love simply when we show up and spend time with them, not when we know all the right answers. Being able to honestly reflect on our actions, as well as being vulnerable with our kiddos when we need to repair and apologize, are critical to creating a safe haven to raise kids who can navigate their own difficulties and range of emotions.

Today Dr. Traci Baxley, the creator of Social Justice Parenting, shares her own imperfect parenting moments, how to tackle the inner mean mom who likes to guilt trip, and how to show up with radical love—especially around diversity and inclusion.
