Episode Transcript

[00:00:00] Speaker A: What's going on, you beautiful human? [00:00:01] Speaker B: You're listening to the spiritual show podcast from thespiritualroom. Co this podcast is a space where we blend ancient wisdom with new age teachings around spirituality, awakening, quantum physics, astrology, and more. Join us for weekly episodes where we dive deep into this truth and expand our consciousness as a collective. [00:00:23] Speaker A: What is going on, you beautiful human? And welcome to today's spiritual show podcast. I am excited to bring this to you. You. There's two reasons why I'm excited, all right? The first reason is this is what the spiritual room is about. Honestly, this right here today, what I'm about to present to you is the reason why I created the spiritual room and the spiritual show podcast. The reason is, is this platform and this community was created so that we could come together as a spiritual collective that is awakened to continue our ascension into higher states of consciousness. And I the whole purpose is to elevate the other spiritual guides and leaders that are sharing their work, that are opening up their spaces. And today is the first time that I get to actually present and share with you our first teacher here at the spiritual room. Now, this is huge, you guys. This is for me as like a co creator, conscious creator of the spiritual room. Um, it's taken me a year to get myself to be ready for this, and this is like, a really exciting time, not only for me, but for you, the listener of this podcast, as well as in the community of the spiritual room. So that in itself is, like, super exciting that the spiritual room is here at this place and time where it's always designed to be. And, uh, we're. We're finally rolling it out. So that is one part of it, but the other part of today's conversation that I am really excited about and that I'm excited to bring this show to you is this is something I'm extremely passionate about. And the topic that we're talking about is conscious parenting. Awakened parenting. And I love this conversation. And I don't even have kids. That's what's crazy. I'm just anti extraordinaire, but I don't have kids. But I'm really passionate about the conscious parenting conversation because it is a integral part of my experience in my spiritual awakening. And my evolution is understanding this aspect of conscious parenting, understanding the role and relationship that our parents have in our own evolution, in our own growth. And so this topic is really special to me, and I'm just really excited that the spiritual room is starting with this specific topic. And I cannot wait to hear your feedback from the show before I get into today's show and I introduce Veronica, who is our guest today. Our guest teacher, Veronica Leela Roy. I always say, I hope I pronounced that correctly, everyone's names, right? She has actually come on our podcast previously, and I have many other episodes that I'm going to share. In fact, there's one other episode I'm going to share alongside this specific interview that her and I did that is talking in this conversation of conscious parenting. But I am really excited to have her here because she's really stepping into her gift and transitioning some of her work to highlight and spotlight this kind of a mission and purpose that she is feeling called towards around this conversation of conscious parenting. And so that is really exciting to witness and to be a part of how this is going to work today in this specific podcast series is if you would like to watch us on YouTube, you can head to the spiritual room on YouTube and subscribe and watch this show live, or you can just continue listening to it here on the podcast. I'm also going to share this live in the spiritual room Facebook community. If you aren't in there, then come on over and join us in there. But today's podcast episode is going to be split up into two different parts. Because it is a beautiful and enriching conversation that I didn't want to just cram it all into two parts. But I also wanted to give you a little bit of an expansion before we get into this conversation today, which is why I was encouraging you to watch it on video or to click the link, uh, that will bring up the consciousness scales of consciousness that is linked up in the show notes, so that you can really see the, um, the consciousness in this conversation more than anything. And this is something I reflected upon after listening to the interview I had with Veronica that, uh, we did a really great job of presenting this conversation through the conscious lens. And I wanted to show it to you from that lens before you listen to the show today so that you can get the most out of it. So, without further ado, I'm going to go ahead and pull up my screen. I was probably just blurry the whole time there. Anyways, doesn't matter. This here on the screen is called the David Hawkins levels of consciousness. And this is something that might be new to you. You might be super familiar with it. This is a really powerful piece to understand. And actually, in a previous episode that Veronica and I were doing, we were talking about the conscious spiral. And this is another version of that conversation. But in today's conversation with conscious parenting, you're going to hear Veronica talk about some words. Now, one of the words she used uses is willingness, acceptance and joy love. [00:05:11] Speaker B: Right. [00:05:12] Speaker A: She also uses terms like fear and shame and guilt and anger. And I wanted to show this to you because you'll see through today's conversation the levels of consciousness in what she's speaking about and what she's talking about in majority of this conversation is actually sitting in this belt line that you see here between courage, acceptance, uh, encourage neutrality, willingness and acceptance. So these are the states of frequency in which these levels of consciousness vibrate at. And this is the place that we find ourselves. [00:05:43] Speaker B: So if you think about it from. [00:05:44] Speaker A: A place of conscious and conscious parenting, when you are in a place of flow and you're not in just getting by, but you're in a much more courage neutral willingness and accepted place as a parent, you're in more of like a flow state. And I wanted to highlight that because I know a lot of parents seek this place of just flow and like things are expansive and high vibrational. Like we're really enjoying our life. My relationship I have to my kids that is found in this place here. And then we also reference some things around shame and guilt. And I just want to give you a good visual of like this is the energy of consciousness in which we're living within. When we hold that, whether we're just a human or whether we're a parent or whatever it is that we're kind of living within, when we live in these spaces of consciousness, we live in these lower aspects. So just giving you a good visual as you go through this conversation today of how expansive this conversation can be up in these higher states and how contracted and just negative and just feeling these other aspects are. [00:06:47] Speaker B: So I think that this will just. [00:06:48] Speaker A: Be a good piece for you to have as much awareness as possible as you listen to this podcast today. And as mentioned, it will be split up into two different shows. And then I will have a follow up episode at the end of it where you can have another inside look into a conversation Veronica and I had around conscious parenting, which ironically goes hand in hand with today's conversation. Now, one of the other things that I'm really excited about, because as mentioned, this is something about the spiritual room and how this is about highlighting and elevating other teachers and allowing you, the listener and the participant in the community to experience spirituality really at every different angle and dimension as possible. So with that being said, I'm so excited to invite you to the month of conscious parenting. [00:07:32] Speaker C: Yay. [00:07:33] Speaker A: What does that even mean? Starts here with this podcast and listening here to this podcast. Now, first off, if you don't have kids and you aren't a parent, this will still apply to you. This will still apply to you. That that is me. I'm that person. And this was still extremely valuable to me. So I just want to get that out right away. So next Wednesday, March 15, Veronica is going to be hosting a masterclass for those parents and anybody really who's interested in learning more about what it is that she's sharing here on today's show show. So in the show notes or in the YouTube box or wherever, there's going to be a link so that you can register for this free event. There is going to be a replay available for 24 hours. And that is it. And it's going to be all about expanding what you know to be true in this area of conscious parenting. And in fact, I don't even have the final details on that because Veronica is still working on it and co creating it. But I know that it is going to be amazing. So that is the first part of this month of March, which is conscious parenting. It starts here with this podcast. We're going to continue the conversation on a free masterclass on a Zoom on Wednesday, March 15. And then after that, we are going to invite you to join us for a workshop. If you're like, hey, I want to continue to dive deeper into this. I want to actually start to work in this area, and I want to become a more conscious parent. Then we're going to invite you to a live workshop that we're going to be hosting at the end of March. So this is so very exciting, you guys. Not only for us here at the spiritual show and at the spiritual room, but also for you, because we know that this is a hot topic. It's not a hot topic. It's a very real and relative topic. And lots of parents are seeking that, like, edge, or how to be the better parent or how to, like, create the best possible human that my child could be. And that is the antithesis of this conversation, which is conscious parenting. And if you think that it has anything to do with your kids, I just want you to know that has nothing to do with your kids. And that is what you're going to find in today's podcast episode. So without further ado, let's go ahead and kick this off. And I cannot wait to introduce Veronica to you and conscious parenting. [00:09:37] Speaker B: So one of the most common questions that people ask is what is conscious parenting and how is it different from traditional parenting? [00:09:46] Speaker C: Okay, so that's really an interesting question, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't stick so much attention and stick too much to the words conscious parenting or traditional parenting because that's actually a label. Right. So. And I guess that people asking that, they just want to grab, grasp it intellectually what it is. Right. So what it is that I, maybe I'm doing and what it is, what I could do better. I kind of think that that's the reason of asking that question. Right. So. And traditional parenting is conscious. I mean, I wouldn't say that it's totally conscious. It's about how, what is the degree of consciousness and where does that consciousness lead, right. Or how much are you parenting in a way, in autopilot, whatever it is, because you learn something and you just, without thinking, you just are grabbing and grabbing into that box and just taking the tools that you got when you were a child just because that's the experience that you have. And then you just keep repeating those things without thinking. So that could be like probably the very little or the lowest consciousness level that you could have. Parenting, like being totally in autopilot, not questioning what you're doing and just doing what you experience on yourself without thinking or reflecting about that. And still there is a bit of consciousness because you're conscious. I mean, you're not just gone and fainted and you're doing all this stuff. So there is a bit of conscious consciousness in there too. So I think that it depends on the degree of consciousness and how far and how deep or in what consciousness level we are moving ourselves and looking into that. When we talk about consciousness, parenting is about the willingness to expand the consciousness, the willingness of let go of autopilot, whatever it is. Right. An autopilot could also be not only the things that you have experienced and that you're repeating unconsciously because that's how you were grown up and educated. But an autopilot could also be that you're reacting out of fear or a known restriction and own limitation. Like, for example, if you are afraid of judgment of others, so what others may say, if you do this or that, or if you educate your kids in this way or in this other way, then you're going to be driven by that autopilot that you're afraid of what others think and might not be doing what feels most in alignment with you. So that's also autopilot. Right. Whether it is because you have experienced that I'm repeating or whether you're driven by emotions, fears, usually. Actually, it's always fear, like, fear of not being a good mom or not being a good dad or what others might think, or that you're losing control of the situation, that you're just taking that responsibility that we do have as parents incredibly strong. And just thinking that we need to control so that we feel that we're responsible, you know, like, we need to control the outcome. And that's kind of just falling at the left side of the horse instead of to the right. But it's also not riding the horse. You know, it's kind of. So just coming back to the question between traditional parenting and conscious parenting, it's just. I would just put it this way. It's the willingness of you to awaken to what is further beyond your willingness to see what feels aligned with me, what is going on, to take a step back and look from a space of observing the situation, observing even your children, your kids, and not getting totally into a judgment. And from my own experience, what we often do, and that's very human, right, is that when something goes wrong with our kids or they're not responding the way that we expect or that life expects or school expects or whatever, you know, then what we often do is we see that, but we're not able to see it from a very neutral space and just to see the facts. So we start spinning a story around that event that we're just seeing and experiencing. And most often times, we spin a story about ourselves, our value as parents, our capacity as parents. You know, we make it about ourselves instead of making it about neutral. Okay? This is what is happening, what is needed in the moment. How can I support my children, right? So again, conscious parenting is the willingness to step more into that space of an observer, to get into a neutral space, which doesn't mean that we don't love our children or that we don't care about our children. It means that we care so much that we don't care, that we care so much that we don't make it a story about ourselves, but actually that we're willing to do the work of release our own restrictions, limitations, you know, like all these stories that we are carrying with us so that we can truly see our kids and not something that we're imagining or that we're just thinking, because we make it all about ourselves and our value as parents and our success as parents and, you know, like all these kind of things and that's the only difference. The only difference, it's about how is your willingness, how is the degree of your willingness to expand, to look beyond all that to. Yeah, to become the observer, to see from a neutral space, to truly be able to respond to the situations as they are. Right. That's it. [00:16:00] Speaker B: I love that. That was just like the beautiful explanation of that. And then you're like, that's it. You know, I'm not a parent. And there was a lot to unpack in that that I think that you talked about that I want to look at for everybody, because this call and this podcast specifically, this conversation isn't just about, you know, parents or just about kids. Like, there's a lot of opportunity for people to grow themselves that don't have kids like myself in this kind of conversation. So one of the things I love that you talked about there, though, in the question of what is conscious parenting and how is it different from traditional parenting, autopilot parenting, which I found so interesting because you're right, when you become that autopilot parent, you're not the observer. You're not in the willingness of that, and you're not in the awakened state of it, and you are making it be about you because it is the autopilot. So maybe we could talk about how, you know, I think people are realizing that this conversation isn't really about kids. It's about the parent or the person observing the situation. And so how can somebody step more into being an active, like starting to see things differently after they've been in this autopiloting place as a conscious parent, making it be about themselves? How do they start looking at it differently? [00:17:14] Speaker C: There is one thing that I'm really, I don't know how to explain that. I'm very passionate. Let's put that word on it, right. Because I don't find a better one right now that I'm very passionate about, and it's that I. But we're always trying to make everything better, you know, like the environment better, the systems better, the schooling better, the children better so that they can deliver, that they can just, you know, like, function in the way that it's expected by the system, the way that it's built. Right. So many of the efforts that we're doing is to function. And we put the efforts on fixing outside. Right. Fixing our children's, fixing the teacher, fixing the school, fixing the system. And don't get me wrong, there is fixing needed there, too, you know, like in the schooling system, educational system. But that could be like a talk for a different time, you know? Yeah, definitely. So it's not that I'm saying that that's not needed, but what I want to underline or pinpoint is that we're very well trained into always wanting to fix the other person in front of us, whoever it is, our children, our, you know, when we think or when we see that there is something that is not, that is wrong or that isn't working the way that we expect. Right. So that's actually the first step to take the responsibility to not wanting always to fix the other person, but to start with this one, that's it. And that's actually how you shift. And that's the first step that you need to do is to have the willingness and the openness. And again, that's a willingness. You need to be willing to do that. Right. That's key. If you're not willing, then nothing is going to happen. But you know, that too. It's like our willpower, our willingness is the main thing that drives creation. And that's the main thing that actually when we use it, very intentional. The more conscious we become, the more conscious creators we become. And that applies for parenting too. There is no difference to that. So, yeah, it's all about not trying to be in your judgment and trying to fix the person in front of you. Trying to fix your children or trying to, you know, it's about fixing yourself. And I don't like the work fixing, but actually doing the work for you before within you. Right. Because when you do the work as a parent, it applies as a leader too. But let's stick with the parents because that's the topic for today. As a parent, if you do the inner work, that's going to have an impact on your children. So that's going to have an impact on your children anyway. So better than trying to control everything like, you know, like this helicopter or whatever and just trying to, okay, I'm responsible, so I'm going to control everything and then do this and then I expect my kid to do that. And then the class of this and then the extra activity of blah, blah, blah. Because my kid needs to be like well equipped for whatever and just trying to control everything, you know, like doing everything. Yeah, just start with you. Start with you. Start expanding your own consciousness, expanding your horizon. Start releasing the judgment that you carry within you because that's a. The main thing that is affecting your children. The judgment that you carry with you, your, like, dislike. This is good, this is bad, this is appropriate. This is inappropriate. This is what is actually. You're projecting that into your kids. That's their. That's how they're making up the reality. That's what's going to define if your children are feeling safe enough to be who they truly are or if they feel that they need to be someone else while they're being at home. You know? And that's also one of the reasons why many children feel so under pressure that they don't know where to go with who they are because they have no room. So our main task as parents is to expand ourselves first to make room for our children to be and then see what is happening. Not making it about us, but just happen. What is. What is it? You know, what is. And how can I respond to that? How can I. What is necessary for me to do what is needed? [00:21:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:52] Speaker C: Does that answer the question? [00:21:53] Speaker B: Yeah, it absolutely does answer the question. And I was talking to Veronica before we started this podcast, and I was saying I had googled some frequently asked questions from parenting. And one of the things you just hit on there is, you know, how do I cultivate mindfulness and self awareness as a parent and why this is important for practicing conscious parenting, awakened parenting, whatever. Right. Willingness parenting. But that's really what we're talking about here. And I would love for you to maybe give an example of what this looks like, because it's great to talk about it. And I know a lot of people are like, yes, okay, that makes sense. That makes sense. And I want that for my kid. And yes, I see how that looks. But how does that look as apparent when you know something's happening and you're trying to control it, and then all of a sudden, it didn't go the. [00:22:32] Speaker A: Way that you wanted, and now you. [00:22:34] Speaker B: Make it be about you and your. [00:22:35] Speaker A: Telling yourself a story. [00:22:36] Speaker B: Can you give an example of what that looks like and how you could just start neutralizing it from that lens that you just spoke about of not making it be about you? [00:22:45] Speaker C: Let me think about. There are plenty examples. So it's just that I'm looking for an example. I believe it kind of one that is very plastic so that everyone can understand that I don't need to talk for very, very long. For example, just imagine. And this is something that I have experienced as well. Right? So you're like, I don't know, like you. My oldest daughter, she's 14, so she's in adolescence, right? And it's a challenging time because there is so much in the shift, and the brain is getting completely new wired. So everything is like. It just goes blank, and then it's rewired in a new way, right? So then the hormones and all these things going on, right? So, for example, just picture that she comes home and she's sad, right? Because something happened with the friends, you know, like friends and with the girls and stuff like that. So they just sometimes hormone driven, you know, like, and then she comes and she's. And she's crying, and it's kind of like catastrophe, you know, and, like, everything is like. And then you're there and then you. Okay, so the first thing when I notice and I still catch myself in these kind of things, it's like she comes like that, and then I try to have a solution, but then I'm making it about myself already, you know, because maybe that's not needed. I don't. I'm not responsible for making her that she isn't crying anymore. You know, actually, from a conscious point of view, it's not about her stopping to cry and comforting her or giving her solace or something like that. You know, I can do that, but that it's not going to help to solve the situation so that she can navigate that situation with a different tool or with a different mindset or actually with a different level of consciousness the next time, right. Of course I hug her and say, okay, let me know what's going on. And actually, the way. The more conscious way in that case is to just listen, right, but I still catch myself wanting to give a solution and just feeling bad because I don't know what to tell her so that she can solve that, right? But then I'm making it about myself. So that could be one thing, right? Or maybe another reaction could be, like, happening something like that and then reacting from that happened to me before. It doesn't happen to me right now anymore because I work through that quite a lot. But as I was a kid, I was bullied, right? So there was this charged emotion around conflicts happening between kids, right? So whenever I would just smell something like that, right, then the emotions would kick in, and then it would, like, kick in, like me having to protect her, you know, like. And that's so unfair and, you know, and this and that. Kind of totally normal, right? And I bet that many people know that. I mean, it's kind of mama bear comes, right, and I'm a big mama bear. I'm very aware of that. [00:26:00] Speaker A: And. [00:26:02] Speaker C: But that if I would react like that, I did it in the past, that was about me. It was not about her because she hasn't had that experience of being bullied or something like that. So it's not about her. I need to see her in her experience with what she is living and not myself. So that's also a way of making it about ourselves. I think that to realize that you can only realize that if you start doing the work within you, if you start identifying. Okay, what are the emotional charges that I carry with me? Right. And start to look into those. Into those. Just looking at that, I mean, getting some help is great, but you can do a lot on your own, like reflecting, journaling. I mean, you are the journal goddess, right? And doing things like that can help you a lot. It's about really writing down, like, okay, I have this experience and actually, what. What are the emotions and what happens when I talk with my son or with my daughter? And this is coming up and. But actually, I see that this is, you know, like. Like processing it, reflecting about that, that would help. Or just talk with someone else. Right. That could act as a mirror and just have a conscious conversation. That could really shift the perception that you have. Right. And just shifted towards a different perspective that you didn't see before. [00:27:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:48] Speaker B: I love what you said there, though, because I know you and I are both advocates of this, which is, you don't need the coach. Yeah, of course. It's great. And that offers an expansion, but at the core of it, we need to develop the habit of us being the coach, the guru, the master, us having the answers, us being capable of doing the work on our own. So I just wanted to highlight that, because as much as you and I serve people in that capacity, we also really believe that you need to create the foundation that you are the one. You know, it is that idea of inner self. [00:28:18] Speaker C: Totally. And I think that. I mean, I don't think. Scratch that. I know that we both work actually very similarly in terms of that. We. We accompany people and give them insights, tools, possibilities, aspects. Right. Routines whatsoever. Insights. Right. So that they can do them afterwards on their own. So that they not getting dependent of having someone on their side that tells them no left, no right. Or this is that. This is this. It's not because that's actually what we're called to. That's also the path of elevating our consciousness. It's about being conscious and nurturing and developing the tools for ourselves and developing the consciousness to do the work for ourselves on a daily basis and not be dependent on someone else that tells us what to do, what is right, what is wrong. This way to success, you know? No, it doesn't exist this way to success. You need to work it on for you on your own, whatever success means to you, whether it is to be to feel content with yourself as a mom or as a father. Right. But that's your path. No one is going to give you the patent recipe for how it works. Right? So, yeah, definitely they're not. [00:29:44] Speaker B: It doesn't exist. There's no parent hack. Why? This is amazing because it's bringing up actually a really good conversation that I wanted to go into. But one of the things you just said was projecting my need to fix my daughter's situation in order for me to feel like I'm a good parent. That is a really real thing for parents, I think for anybody, really. Is this need to feel like you're worthy or you're good? How does a parent navigate that place of their child? Because there's so much connection to our parents, specifically mothers. And it's like, I believe as a mother you really feel like it's your responsibility to ensure this child is successful in your eyes or whatever. But how do you live from a perspective and a detachment that I don't need their success or their growth to define me as a parenthood. [00:30:44] Speaker C: That's a great point. I would like to share. One exercise that I would encourage every parent to do is to define for themselves, when am I a successful father or a happy father or a happy mother. And just write really a list, but really do flowing just pen to paper and don't get your pen out. Like. Right. Right. Don't overthink, just flow it. Flow it through. And write always like the stem of the sentence. I am a successful mother when. And feel it. I am a successful mother when. Or father. Okay. I don't care. Or I'm a fulfilled mother when. Just use the adjective that suits you the most or that is the one that you're craving the most. Right. Don't overthink it. Just use the, the adjective that resonates with you the most. That is the thing that you crave the most. And go with that and just really do that and at least do like 30 times. Something like that. Because the juicy part is always at the end. It's not at the beginning. At the beginning is the most obvious, you know? [00:31:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:49] Speaker C: And just do it. And if you can do 50, then do 50 and write whatever. Don't overthink it, don't judge it. Just put everything right and then have a look into that and to see what is it maybe you get some surprises, right? Or maybe you can definitely see your mom or your dad and stuff like that and just thinking, okay, I hated that as a kid, you know, like, why am I just carrying this with me even? It didn't feel good to me at that point in time. Or maybe you see things that are really, really relevant for you, that you really see there is an energetic, you know, like an energetic reaction interaction with them that you're actually not focusing on enough. Right? Like if you. I did, a couple of years ago, I did like a poll, like a small poll with some of my clients that were parents and asked them what if, just to, I put them into a constructed future, right? And I asked them to tell me what would they want or wish and desire most their children to feel in 15 years time, right? So guess what? Told I want them to be successful. I want them to be wealthy. I want them to be half, like 20 degrees or certificates and stuff like that. None of them like, I mean, the, the, that's incredible. But that's, you know, but that's the truth. Like, the answers that came, like, the most often answers were happy, loved, supported. You know, those were the three most common answers. But actually, are we behaving and are we parenting in a way that we're fostering? Exactly. That. That they're going to be happy, that they feel loved and that they're the going to. That they feel supported because they do have the support within themselves. Because that's the key, you know, it's about having all of that, like, being happy within me, feeling love within me and feeling support within me so that I can, I know that I can navigate whatever comes, right. So that's ultimately what people and parents were wishing in the little poll that I did. But very often we, because we make so much stories about how life is and okay and life is so complex and it's so complicated and it's so tough and things like that. So we need to train them and they need to be like this and they need to have the grades a, because otherwise they're not going to be able to do anything and then they're not going to be happy. That's a fallacy. I mean, honestly, that's. And I think that every single parent knows that deep within, because, like, just putting an example of myself, I loved my parents and they really did the best that they could, right. And they really tried to provide everything they could just for me to be happy and successful and all of that, right. But there was a lot of focus on the intellectual part. So there was this kind of knowledge makes you free. I don't know if that resonates with you, but that was kind of something that I grew up with. And I think that that resonates a lot with people nowadays because if you look into the educational system, it is conceived to just put all this information into the children, you know, like, so knowledge makes you free or knowledge makes you successful or knowledge makes you better or whatever you, however you feel and end that phrase, you know? But the truth is that the more knowledge that we do have doesn't necessarily makes us happy. It makes our world more complex. That's the truth, you know, because the more intellectual we become, the more we are stuck in our heads and the lesser we do have a connection with our body or with that which is beyond the intellect, with our higher self. Right? In that case. So, yeah, I would really encourage to do that exercise and to look into what really means for you to be as successful parent. What does it mean to you to be content and fulfilled as a parent and to dive deeper into that and then see how can I adjust my parenting to be more of that? Or how can I adjust my parenting to be lesser of this, right? And to be able to see more of my child and a little and let go of all the expectations that I have. [00:36:32] Speaker B: Yes, I. Oh, this is good. You know, this is why people listen to podcasts, right?
