#49 Into the Unknown: Learning to trust our children

The Mothering Myself Podcast - Un pódcast de Susan Kinahan

In this episode we speak to the unknown and uncertainty that is this moment, and our need to trust in where we are headed without knowing where that is or what that looks like right now.  How do we do that? This conversations covers the truth that we have never known the future, but we have attached ourselves to the predictability of societal assumptions and the systemic structures that we have taken for granted. We discuss the givens that we have internalized rather than critically evaluated and whether or not what we have been led to believe is 'the way of the world' feels good for us to continue to rest our faith in. This episode illuminates our children's questioning nature and how their desire to understand what is enables us to become curious about what we have learned to believe. We consider the variables that shape our path and whether we have accepted our experiences, or whether we continue to run from the feelings and remembrance of the past via taking control of our children's life path.  We cover how our fears are not our children's fears, like our parent's fears were and are not our own, while we recognize that to truly trust our children's paths means that we must learn to trust ourselves.
