“Today I listened to your Nature/Nuture podcast it was like you both had crawled in my mind and verbalised my thoughts & fears & desires as a woman & mother. I too have been doing the work since before being a mumma around developmental trauma and working on changing my conditioning and my generational lineage and patterns. And Lael you are so right “teenagers do often sit in it longer than I feel comfortable with” and I’m learning to navigate the teenage years with love and some worry not knowing how to help but knowing to hold space even if I want to fix it. It’s confronting, emotional, joyous, scary, confusing and yet wonderful all at the same time I couldn’t imagine not “doing the work” for myself and my daughters. The biggest thing I got from today listening was to just take a load off myself I am doing the work of positive conscious awareness style parenting but I’m the first EVER in my family to go against the grain & that in itself isn’t easy and fraught with emotions and judgment..both your words resonated so much with me I get it now, I’m the start for me and my girls, not the end and only merely paving the way for them to carry the baton on. I don’t have to fix it all, I can’t fix it all & what was I thinking (hello Ego Ekard Tolle work) that I could heal myself and them in one generation, no wander I get overwhelmed and exhausted. My happy positive column of gratitude is always longer and there will forever be work to do, learn, and guide from, and things I did wrong or could of handled better, but for now that’s enough, thank you again it was such a timely podcast, and with your wise loving advice this mumma is giving herself a damm break ! ❤️”
