What if the key to personal growth lies in the lessons we learn from children? Join us as we uncover the profound insights that come from parenting and the continual journey of self-healing. In this episode of the Let that Shift Go podcast, we start with a thought-provoking conversation using Skin Deep healing edition cards, where we explore our differing views on risk-taking and how our responses to conflict have evolved over time. Noel opens up about her transformation from a fearless flight nurse to someone who now values caution, while Lena shares her struggles with defensiveness, especially when receiving criticism from loved ones.
Moving deeper into personal reflections, Noel reveals the heartwarming moments she observed when her grown children cared for their young cousins with pure, unconditional love. This leads us into a broader discussion on the importance of teaching self-love to children not through fear, but by setting a positive example. We bravely confront our past parenting mistakes influenced by fear and projection, and the subsequent guilt and unresolved emotions these methods have left behind. An introspective look at a revealing text from Noel's son serves as a powerful reminder of our ongoing need for growth and understanding in relationships.
As we strive for self-forgiveness, we explore the impact of self-judgment on our mental well-being and the importance of being present and mindful. A recent experience with young nieces teaches us valuable lessons about slowing down and responding thoughtfully. Committed to fostering better self-awareness and emotional regulation, we discuss new practices such as refraining from cursing and embracing open, non-defensive communication. We conclude with a heartfelt invitation for listeners to share their stories and feedback, encouraging a collective journey of healing and self-improvement. Tune in, and don't forget to like, share, and follow for more insightful discussions.
