In this episode, StoicMom and Chuck Gafvert cover a lot of ground: they explore the complexities of human interactions, the power of stories, and the importance of understanding one's own narratives. They discuss the importance of transcending tribalism and the dopamine addiction of reinforcing our beliefs in echo chambers. They cover how to overcome the duality of fundamentally opposing belief systems; and the great freedom available to us when we start to make our unconscious identities conscious.
Chuck and StoicMom explain that we are so much deeper than our stories, and what we truly are at our core essence. Chuck asserts that what the world needs is less mind knowledge and more heart wisdom, and that condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
Other topics covered include:
Why we inflict pain on others when we have felt pain.
How arguing with reality is a no-win situation.
The limited perception of our stories, about ourselves and others.
And much more. Settle in and enjoy this latest episode of The Parenting Paradox.

Does it seem your approach to navigating the treacherous terrain with a trans-identified child is just making things worse? StoicMom has opened spots in her online community The StoicMom Project (SMP Community), but only through the end of May.
The SMP Community was recently renamed The Tapestry because the stories we weave–whether consciously or not–will shape our experience. The Tapestry is a community for mothers navigating rupture brought on by conflicting identities and worldviews between ourselves and our children.
Click here to learn more about The Tapestry, where moms navigating the confusing world of gender and identity come together and support one another to emerge stronger, wiser, and more grounded in their inner authority.
