Story. Lesson. Advice‪.‬ Justin Olivares

In this week's episode, I discuss the story of the nail in the head. And, my own version of that story with my wife.

For the lesson, it boils down to realizing it is not about us and our ability to solve a problem. 

The advice: simple...seek first to understand rather than to be understood.

In this week's episode, I discuss the story of my time spent in three different cities. What did I do? Well, instead of enjoying the cities to the fullest, I was constantly focused on the wrong things.

The lesson I learned is to enjoy the moment for what it is, not focus on what it isn't.  

The advice that I would give myself is that the more I give meaning to meaningless things, the more joy of life I am missing out on.

In this episode, I discuss the story of our kitchen table (now well in its mid-30's) and how the memories there shaped my childhood and are currently shaping my daughter's childhood.

For the lesson, it's all about the hear and now...that's right...hear your child, be present, be involved...right now is your child's childhood and how you respond, act, and exist with that helps shape their inner voice and their future.

The advice I give myself and others is to not project your day onto your child's day. We are all tired, frustrated, have arguments with our spouses, etc., but our kids don't deserve to have that put onto them.

In this special episode (I day after my birthday), I briefly discuss some of the best advice from Season Two. 

From standing up for yourself to not getting caught in the loop of self-sabotage to realizing how overrated 'loyalty' is to living at the intersection of cost and value, I provide some (hopefully thoughtful) life advice that anyone can use. 

See you next week with a traditional episode.

This week, I discuss the story of my high school basketball experience and how it led to people taking away my happiness. Dealing with bullies is never easy, but learning how to do it can you tremendously in life. 

For the lesson, it's all about how sometimes life is not fair. People are not fair. How we learn how to deal with  that will help us in life. 
If you believe that you are on the right path, don't let anyone get in your way. 

For the advice, it boils down to this: don't let anyone take away your happiness.

In this week’s episode I talk about how creating a safe space for our children is critical for them to be able to decompress and be themselves. Often times, our kids are holding it together and when they get in our orbit, they just need to release and relax. Be aware of your frustrations with their behavior and recognize when they just need to blow off some steam.
For the lesson, I realized that as parents, we are the toy. And, we are the toy because we make our children feel safe because we are familiar and comforting. So, the next time our kids ‘will you play with me’, they are really saying ‘I feel safe with you and right now I need that feeling of safety’. 
Also, what is our relationship to our ‘releases’? I often have an unbalanced relationship with my decompression as I run to food or other outlets to ‘dive in’ and escape the reality of my day. By doing that, am I also not helping create a positive space for my wife and daughter to be able to decompress?
The advice I would give my daughter when she is older is for her to understand the relationship she has with her releases. There is nothing wrong with using exercise, cooking, watching a movie, etc. to unwind after a long day or week, but understanding how you use those things can help inform how you are growing as a person.

For the Just the Tip, I talk about why I always buy pesto instead of making it. It all boils down to outsourcing the stuff you don’t want to do.
And, for the Whisper In, @milklesspodcast is where you want to be. Matt and Max are funny, insightful and spot on with parenting real talk.
