“Such an arrogant podcast at times. Though I agree with much that is said and even if I don’t agree I am open to changing my mind -which is why I am listening- there are moments of such extreme arrogance. In the episode on extreme thinking when it is asked how this podcast could change someone’s mind who disagrees with you the answer is “we cant” “let them sit alone in their car with a mask on” “they don’t want a full life.” Suddenly you see yourselves as the most open, the wisest, the best parents, the most knowledgable. Etc etc. And this is where I switch off. Not because I am living in fear or do not want a full life but because just as I am wary of a government or media full of certainty that it is right I become wary of you. Your opinion and stance goes from sounding wise and invested in growth and change to sounding bombastic and closed minded and sure that your way is the only way it also lacks compassion and care for anyone hoping to come out of a fear based choice. You basically say- this podcast is just for people who think like us? This is our perfect bubble. Thats so deeply depressing and hopeless. In other episodes you suddenly slide into blaming parents in a way I understand the need for-to engage us in out responsibility to our kids- a very important topic -but again your arrogance and conviction in your own wisdom overrides things- little discussion of poverty, of mothers parenting alone. Of how these issues could be helped. Of how different that experience is to yours! The arrogance of you talking about your own parenting skills and then sort of blaming anyone who cant match them again overshadows the really important subjects you are raising. There is a serious lack of humility that is really messing up your messages. Which is such a shame as the topics are very important. But you sound like much else in the media much more invested in your own egos than actually helping anyone.”
