Ep 6: Dreaming and Manifesting with Logan

We continue on from Episode 5! But before we do, let’s appreciate the depth of this 3 part series with Tiffany.  It has been a beautiful unfolding of so many life lessons, that I thought it only apt to reflect back on episode 4 & 5 before moving into episode 6 today. Here are some of the thoughts and ideas that I am sitting with and processing. Learning to show up as our whole selves instead of shrinking back to feel safe, be safe, and or accepted in spaces Allowing children to develop in a confident autonomous way. (An idea of what this could mean is they can think for themselves, govern themselves, lead and guide themselves from learned and practiced living experiences.) How we can heal and feel our way through the healing. How friendships, sisterhoods and community are beneficial in the healing process. How relationships can be challenging but holding space for the ones we love and allowing them the space to heal and process things. Allowing Individuals to develop. That’s GRACE! Having those hard conversations with our children. The trauma those hard conversations can cause. The trauma and the impact of the altercation with the police at the store, while on the homeschool camping outing, had on Tiffany’s oldest son. That incident TRAUMATIZED her son!!! The Elephant in the room: Being the DISRUPTOR!  Working through the hard truth of what some of us experience by walking a different path. The struggle of routine. How you can pass in spaces until “you don’t” - pass for white or pass for fitting in. Letting go of the planned outcome for our children. Allowing children to grow and develop. Realizing, we as parents can be “too much” for our children. How do we leave room for them to figure it out without crushing them or their spirits.  How loving our children can help us to love ourselves. The importance of having patience when entering spaces. Then being open and patient enough to see what you don’t understand, yet. The importance of having something to pull on when you’re at your lowest. We need something bigger than ourselves to believe in when we are low and pressing through the mess in life.  Understanding the importance of vulnerability. When we are vulnerable, we find our people.  Not being afraid to fail out loud! Checking in with everyone listening to see if we want to let these episodes marinate a li’l more and start some small intimate circles to chat more and hold space.   And now, for episode 6! Listen to my fun conversation with Logan and then Tiffany expands on their experience in the modelling industry. We hear about Tiffany’s experience as a child model and how that informed her own knowledge about the behind the scenes. Being in the middle of adults’ emotional tumult was quite scary and overwhelming for her. Her intuitiveness to hold off with getting Logan involved in the business came from how well she knew her son. His personality would not handle corrective direction or even the harshness of the industry. And the hours were too long for him when he was younger. Tiffany shares the story behind how Logan first became interested in a thing such as modeling. In Logan’s own words: “It looked kinda cool!”  He was looking through pinterest for a hairstyle when he was 3 years old and he asked his mom what these kids were doing? ‘I want to do that!’ And eventually Tiffany realized he was talking about modelling and she explained it to him. Logan then decided he wanted his own YouTube channel. Both mums realise that their sons - Azaria and Logan -  are motivated by money and that’s how they drive their modelling careers and other interests. It has been real and deep and so profound. I do hope y'all will reach out and let’s start those deep inner circles that help us extrapolate all the wondrous gems from this series into our own stories, as we navigate this journey of life. Until next time...
