What Our Adult Children Taught Us About Being Authentic
What Our Adult Children Taught Us AboutBeing Authentic (We Weren't Ready)
In this episode, we sit down with two people who know us better than almost anyone — our children, Stella and Jake. Inspired by Brené Brown's Braving the Wilderness, we asked them the questions most parents never think toask: How do you stay true to yourself? What does self-trust actually look like? And where did we, as your parents, get it wrong?
Their answers surprised us. They challenged us. And honestly?They taught us more about living authentically in midlife than any self-helpbook ever has.
This conversation covers:
· What "belonging to yourself" meanswhen the world wants you to fit in
· How Stella and Jake navigate being true to theirvalues — even when it costs them
· The moment we realized our kids were braver thanwe are
· Practical advice for midlife women who arefinally ready to stop performing and start living authentically
Whether you're 25 or 55, this episode will make you rethinkwhat it means to be yourself.
