Have you ever felt seen and accepted for who you are? It's an amazing feeling to be seen and loved for the person you are. Jenn and I talk about teachers who made us feel seen as pivotal points in our life, where we were going through trauma or emotional pain and how being seen made us believe in ourselves and push ourselves to become the people our teachers saw in us. Have you had a teacher, friend, family member see you this way? How did it influence you?

Am I the only one who thought that being an "adult" would mean that I would have all the answers...or at least some of the answers? The realization that we're all winging it and doing the best we can was such a departure from everything I believed that would happen when I became an adult...and when I became a parent, even more so. Don't parents just intuitively know what to do? Nope and for every article you read out there that says to do things one way, there is another that says to do the complete opposite.

Have you ever gotten caught up in what concepts like "good", "honour" and "respect" mean? We have and what's been most puzzling is that it seems like everyone knows but us!
Today's episode is Part 2 of Diary of 2 Middle Children where Sania and I pick up our conversation from last week and talk about being judged, pivotal moments in our life that changed how we view ourselves, giving ourselves permission to make our own choices, people-pleasing and our tendency to think that at some point, things would make sense. Spoiler alert: this never happens! We talk about loving and accepting who we are and what it means to be a good person. Further, how do we instill good values in our kids?
We conclude with a question to the audience: are we just the sum of our actions or is there inherent goodness in all of us?
Lastly, there's a call to action, if anything in this episode resonated with you, please comment on Instagram, Facebook, or send me an email at [email protected], I'd love to hear from you.
