She describes the moment on the playground when she understood that parenting is not only about holding a child close but about giving them a push when they are ready to go. The lesson she draws from both is the same one: be there for the life, not the funeral, and spend the quality time while the people are still here to spend it with. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nosidebar.com/holding-on/ Quotes to ponder: "It was the day that I realized being a parent isn't just about holding your child, it's also about letting them go." "It's going to be a balancing act between keeping her safe and cuddled and letting her be free to grow." "Spend time with the living. Hug your babies, hug your grandparents. Enjoy them while they are yours to enjoy. Nothing is forever."

    Introducing Why Women Are Taught to Doubt What They Know with Psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora from The Tamsen Show. Follow the show: The Tamsen Show HELP US WIN A SIGNAL AWARD - VOTE FOR THE TAMSEN SHOW HERE Women learn early which parts of themselves make other people comfortable. After enough years, that performance can begin to feel like our identity, and the intuition underneath it goes quiet. Dr. Ellen Vora spent much of her life inside that worldview. A Yale- and Columbia-trained psychiatrist, she built her life around science and skepticism. Then, during an acupuncture treatment, Ellen received a message she couldn’t explain away, and it opened a question her training couldn’t answer: When someone dies, does the relationship actually end? That experience forced her to reconsider what she believed about grief, intuition, and the limits of what we can prove. Today, Ellen shares the full story behind her new book, Season of the Witch: A Psychiatrist’s Case for Magic, and why women are taught to give up essential parts of themselves in order to be taken seriously. She argues that we’ve been missing something, and the way back starts in the body. In this episode, you’ll learn: - How being agreeable and low-maintenance can become a form of self-abandonment - Why women have been taught to distrust their intuition - How to distinguish intuition from anxiety, and the ways the body signals yes and no - Why menopause can represent a rebirth rather than a disappearance - What grief can teach us about continuing relationships with the people we have lost - Why the “witch” archetype has always been connected to women who are no longer easily controlled - Simple ways to become more receptive to meaning, guidance, and magic in everyday life This is a conversation about returning to the parts of ourselves we learned to suppress, and letting life become a little more mysterious and alive.
