Episode 10- A Woman's Journey: Part 1

What do you do when all of your bearings regarding society and even your country get upended and you feel extremely unsettled? In this episode of the Life of The Mind Podcast, we follow the journey of one such woman, Julie Ooomen. We travel with her as she settles and centers herself and her immediate family consisting of her husband and two young daughters via a wall of values. We further see how she uses the values on their family wall to navigate teaching moments for her kids.  We also see Julie reestablishing a framework for dialogue with her parents and family of origin using the value and power of empathy.

Both episodes in this series A Woman's  Journey go to the heart of what the Oak Guild Institute is attempting to do- relearn the art of loving dialogue, even on contested topics while continuing to learn and grow.  

More detailed show notes with pictures of the Oomen Family Wall of Values will be available soon on our website at www.OakGuild.org
