    036 - Developing Kids Into Emotionally Mature Adults

    This episode is part of a series where we answer your questions. Today's question:"How do I help my kids develop into emotionally mature adults? How can I support them so they don't have to struggle through the process of self-healing like we did?" In this episode, we explore the deep desire many parents have to protect their children from pain and struggle. We talk about the reality that healing and self-discovery are part of the human experience—and why trying to eliminate struggle entirely may not actually serve our kids in the long run. Lora shares insights about modeling emotional maturity rather than trying to teach it through instruction, and why nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and self-awareness are best learned through what children observe in the adults around them. Jeff reflects on parenting adult children and the evolving relationship between parents and kids as they grow. We also dive into: Why therapy is becoming more normalized in newer generations The difference between supporting children and enabling them Cultural expectations around independence and parenting The role of community in raising emotionally healthy adults Why modeling mature behavior matters more than perfect parenting The power of apology in parent-child relationships Ultimately, we come back to a simple but challenging idea:If you want to raise emotionally mature adults, become one.

    029 - What Do I Actually Feel?

    This episode is part of a series where we answer your questions. Today's question: "I grew up in a house where 'emotions' meant you either yelled or you left. Now I'm in my 30s trying to figure out what I actually feel, but the words don't come. I freeze - total shut down. I feel like I don't have the vocabulary or the skills to maintain relationships in a healthy way. I feel like I need a course on 'Feelings 101' because I never got the starter kit." To address this question, Lora and Jeff discuss the complexities of emotions, particularly focusing on individuals who struggle with emotional expression due to their upbringing. We discuss the importance of understanding and articulating feelings, the impact of emotional shutdown, and ways to become more comfortable putting words to your emotions. Vulnerability and self-awareness are key components in our emotional landscapes, and can help us improve our interpersonal connections. We discuss: - Emotional shutdown can stem from childhood experiences. - Building emotional vocabulary is essential for healthy relationships. - Emotions are often misunderstood and require attunement. - Practicing self-awareness can help in recognizing emotions. - Vulnerability is crucial in expressing feelings to others. - Emotions are transient and can be processed without storytelling. - Using tools like a feelings wheel can aid in emotional expression. - It's important to approach emotions with compassion and curiosity. - Understanding the relational nature of emotions can enhance connections. - Deconstructing familial patterns can lead to personal growth.
