Ep. 23 my son Archer makes another appearance on the show!

This episode you get a look at our relationship and we talk about some big topics! It never ceases to amaze this boys mind and sometimes it feels like he is raising me! He gives some important advice on how to bring up big or uncomfortable topics with your child in a way they can handle it.

We also go over one of our favorite books, 'Big Idea's for Curious Minds An Introduction to Philosophy for Curious Minds'  from The School of Life Press. I will link the website below! We go over two chapters in the book where we look at the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre where we talk about the "mind body problem" about the two versions we see our selves as, one version of how others see us and how we see ourselves. Also, looking at the philosopher  Jacques Derrida and his philosophy around the media and how they don't show you the whole picture of what is going on in the news.

Join us for this special conversation and see the beauty of the mother son relationship!

I will be going back to my once a week schedule! Starting today I will be releasing every Monday! I want to thank everyone who has supported me since starting this podcast. As I say, the intent is to connect to the disconnected and if I have helped at least one person and have helped make someone feel less alone with their mental health  and feel less different, than I really have achieved the intent of the journey.

Episode 22 I discuss what's been going on with why I have been lagging! I really don't want to get in my own way with the podcast but I have been battling some sever feelings of inadequacies and self doubt, the feeling of irrelevance and that I am a pseudo intellectual!  You know, the usual! 

So, these listener emails couldn't come at a perfect time! I read the sweetest email/fb messages on the show and discuss some topics brought up and or around the messages.

I LOVE YOU! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon! 

On Ep. 21 were talking NARCISSISTIC PARENTS!! Mostly mothers.

Narcissism is quite the buzz word these days but it is one of the most overlooked and under diagnosed disorders we face in a growingly narcissistic world. The effects of being raised by a narcissist can lead to a life time of invalidation, worthlessness, insecurities and substance abuse. I share my own experience with my undiagnosed narcissistic mother and the what the consequence have been. 

I take a look at the different types and styles of mother/daughter dynamics when the mother is displaying or is a narcissist and then go into some tips about how you can heal.

This is a very painful and lonely journey to realizing your mother wasn't capable of giving you what you need but it wasn't your fault. It wasn't fair that the needs of your mother were always put first but once you realize the root of your suffering that will give you the freedom you need to start healing. I have included some links for the healing process as well as my resources for the show today.

Do you have a narc mother or father? Write me your stories, how you healed, you got away, and what it looked like for your family dynamic. 

You are loved! You are wanted! You are needed!
