Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora. And I'm very happy to be

Unknown:

spending some time with you today. I hope you're doing well.

Unknown:

If you're not doing well, I hope I can bring love and joy,

Unknown:

resolution, peace into your life. If you haven't yet,

Unknown:

subscribe to this podcast. And if you have, thank you so much,

Unknown:

it means so much to know that you are a listener who keeps

Unknown:

coming back to listen to my podcast. And if you really enjoy

Unknown:

it, maybe leave me a review on Apple podcast. Five stars would

Unknown:

be sweet. Or a review. Today I want to talk about parenting.

Unknown:

Parenting a row is talking about parenting while does she have

Unknown:

children? No, she doesn't have children. So why the EFF? Does

Unknown:

she think she can talk about parenting? Well, well, well, my

Unknown:

dear listeners, I'm a daughter. And I also happen to have

Unknown:

empathy. So I love to put myself into other people's shoes. I

Unknown:

realized something profoundly today, I realized that as a

Unknown:

parent, you do your very best at all times. And we all know that

Unknown:

we don't succeed at all times. But still, we're doing our best.

Unknown:

Right? We don't wake up in the morning and say to ourselves,

Unknown:

today I'm going to be a shitty person. Today I'm going to be a

Unknown:

shitty parent know, when something slips when something

Unknown:

doesn't go the way it should be going. It is in the moment, it

Unknown:

is impulsively it's an accident, it is not meant to be and this

Unknown:

is okay, you are forgiven. Kids are not being born with a

Unknown:

manual, right? You can look into astrology, you can visit

Unknown:

astrologers and find out as much as you want about your baby and

Unknown:

where it was born, when it was born. And what it's going to

Unknown:

grow up to be like when you look into the stars. But chances are

Unknown:

the environment is going to influence the baby and the

Unknown:

outside world society. Things that are totally out of our

Unknown:

control, and the baby will grow into what it wants to grow. And

Unknown:

what I realized today is that when we do our very best when

Unknown:

we're parenting when we help a little human being to grow into

Unknown:

a healthy, responsible member of society. It must be very

Unknown:

painful. When all of a sudden that child that teenager, that

Unknown:

young adult decides to do something that you reject it

Unknown:

with all your mighty emotional and mental force. You rejected

Unknown:

that one thing that your child wants to engage in, and now your

Unknown:

child is engaging into it. And it is scary. It is scary because

Unknown:

you're worried that your baby is gonna get hurt. You're worried

Unknown:

that your baby is not going to get acceptance from society,

Unknown:

that your baby is not going to be long that your baby is going

Unknown:

to struggle. Now look at the vaccine. Look at the parents who

Unknown:

got the vaccine and the children who decide not to get a vaccine.

Unknown:

They must be so worried and scared because for themselves

Unknown:

it's very clear what is best. And why is it different for our

Unknown:

own child, the child that we fed we shelter we closed we put all

Unknown:

our lovin why? Why is that child doing something so erratic and

Unknown:

different? Same goes if you look at tattoos I'm the only person

Unknown:

in my family who has tattoos. And it must have been extremely

Unknown:

weird for my family to find out. And it was like, I only know my

Unknown:

side, I know my side, because that's the perspective I had, I

Unknown:

got those tattoos, I had my reasons, and I enjoy them every

Unknown:

day. And when I received the reaction from my parents, I was

Unknown:

I felt a little bit rejected, although I know, when they

Unknown:

reacted, they did it in a very loving way. And they wanted to

Unknown:

understand and they wanted to ask me questions, and we had

Unknown:

discussions, like, very friendly conversations about it. And it

Unknown:

was just very lovely. But today, I realized it must have been so

Unknown:

scary and weird, scary is maybe a little bit too extreme, but

Unknown:

weird for them to see what I was doing with my body. Same goes

Unknown:

with academics, you and your husband, you're very clear that

Unknown:

your bankers, your intellectuals, your doctors,

Unknown:

maybe your lawyers, and your child decides to become a

Unknown:

musician. Your child is an artist, and wants to express him

Unknown:

or herself. very artistically. Now, for some parents, this is

Unknown:

refreshing, this is awesome. Like this is the best addition

Unknown:

to our life that we can imagine. Because now we we got it all. We

Unknown:

got the academics and we got the artistic side and our family.

Unknown:

But for a lot of parents and grandparents, it is so

Unknown:

uncomfortable to see that you suck at math that you don't care

Unknown:

about history, that all you care about, is socializing, and arts.

Unknown:

You love music, you love painting, you love being messy.

Unknown:

You love expressing yourself in a very extravagant way. And if

Unknown:

that child now feels shit, I can't belong to my family. I

Unknown:

feel rejected if I pursue my passion, my true calling. That's

Unknown:

a very, very painful realization, reality to sit in

Unknown:

for that chat. But what I realized today, for those

Unknown:

parents, it's also very scary to see their child go off into a

Unknown:

new direction, because they don't know it is uncertainty.

Unknown:

The tide is being a pioneer. And you have to let it walk off. And

Unknown:

you don't know if it's going to make it or not. This is scary. I

Unknown:

get it. I understand it. And the other day, I had a conversation

Unknown:

with my partner and I said, Well, my child is going to

Unknown:

become this and that and learn all these language and languages

Unknown:

and is going to be passionate about traveling. I can't have a

Unknown:

child who doesn't like traveling, because that's my

Unknown:

passion. And we laughed so hard because at the same time, I

Unknown:

realized no, this is not how it goes. The child enters the world

Unknown:

as a complete new creation and being with its own thoughts and

Unknown:

desires. And we as parents, we have to nurture it, she'll

Unknown:

shelter it and give it whatever it needs, give it guidance and

Unknown:

also encourage the path that it wants to be on. As soon as we

Unknown:

give it the impression that it is not okay to be gay. It is not

Unknown:

okay to be overly excited about Vanguard and, Ludovico I know

Unknown:

the and Mozart and Beethoven. This is just leisure time. You

Unknown:

cannot make a profession out of it. But when you do and saying

Unknown:

those things, feeling those things, is cutting your child

Unknown:

off from unconditional love and twisting it into conditional

Unknown:

love. And this is when children start acting out because they

Unknown:

feel on a very subtle level. The They're being excluded, that

Unknown:

they're not

Unknown:

made to feel enough that they're not meeting expectations. And

Unknown:

this is crazy crippling for the growth of a child. But I

Unknown:

understood today how scary it must be to let your child walk

Unknown:

off into a direction that you had rejected for your own path a

Unknown:

long time ago, maybe.

Unknown:

Parenting is tough, I get it. Being a daughter, being a son,

Unknown:

is very tough too. And I hope you will never forget how it

Unknown:

felt the first time that you expressed a desire. And your

Unknown:

parents said, You were not allowed to go down that path.

Unknown:

Maybe you were in love with someone of a different cost of a

Unknown:

different, you know, part of society. And your parents didn't

Unknown:

want you to be together. Maybe you were interested in arts and

Unknown:

music, and your parents forced you to become an academic. This

Unknown:

is when sickness arises and depression. And we have to stop,

Unknown:

we wonder why so many people are sick and tired and break out or

Unknown:

commit suicide, we have to become more sensitive with what

Unknown:

a child's path may look like. And if we feel resistance, if we

Unknown:

feel scared, we have to check in when without ego, we have to ask

Unknown:

ourselves questions, and then ask the child specific questions

Unknown:

and approach him or her with curiosity. I'm very proud of my

Unknown:

parents of how they dealt with my tattoos, for instance, but

Unknown:

also many other instances. I'm very grateful. On a subtle

Unknown:

level, I still felt rejected. But that's okay. It's part of

Unknown:

life. It's part of growing up and making your own way in this

Unknown:

world. But today, I wanted to make sure that parents feel

Unknown:

understood as well. And that I can see that it is

Unknown:

uncomfortable. It is uncertainty. And it is scary.

Unknown:

But we need to trust that what we the way we raised our child

Unknown:

was the very best that we have done. And if they make a

Unknown:

different conclusion out of it than what we thought initially,

Unknown:

then it is okay. And we have to put trust in them. Love and

Unknown:

them. And again, trust. We have to trust that all babies that we

Unknown:

send out into the world are taking care of themselves and

Unknown:

love themselves so much have so much healthy confidence in

Unknown:

themselves, that they will make the right decisions. And if they

Unknown:

didn't make a right decision, they know they can come back to

Unknown:

you. They know they can come talk to you recharge their

Unknown:

batteries, recalibrate their compass, and then start out a

Unknown:

new path without you judging them. I'm sending my love out to

Unknown:

you to all the parents out there to all the daughters and sons

Unknown:

and creatures that are listening. I love you so much. I

Unknown:

appreciate you so much. And if you have any comments, join me

Unknown:

Unknown:

below this episode that I will be posting here in a couple of

Unknown:

minutes. Thank you so much. Take good care of yourself. Bye bye
