Thank you. And one of the ways that I'm approaching it is. when we have a new child, we can approach it with a lens of this is the opportunity for me to parent in the way that I wish I was parented, right? Undo all of those past traumas, giving myself the things that I wish I had, but now to my child.

And that in itself is healing my own inner child while giving our child now exactly what they need, hopefully at least, right? And I'm sure that's going to be a lot better than the alternatives, but it starts there. And seeing that And like creating a whole new belief system that we inherently have worth, that we don't really have to do anything to earn that.

And it's simply because we exist, that we're human. Anything that exists has that inherent value in it and you don't have to do anything to earn it. And in giving them that, that's essentially what unconditional love is. And if a child grows up in that environment, they'll flourish because they're not trying to do things to earn your own approval, to earn your praise, to earn your love.

And when a child isn't optimizing for those things, they can truly be themselves and not be afraid that if they mess up, that you won't love them anymore. Or if they don't listen to you, then they won't have food on the table or something like that. So making the child feel safe, which in turn will make you feel safe because that's all you really care about in this moment.

We'll start to heal everyone. And it's a powerful position to have. And you have a lot more influence than you think as a parent and to your child as well. So it really starts there and undoing all of that. So that's what I'm hoping to be able to transfer to mine, right?

That unconditional love and allowing them to explore completely unfiltered without any restraints, as long as it's not really like life threatening, which most things aren't. If they look too silly, if they're embarrassing me, like that doesn't matter anymore. I'd rather them be kids for as long as possible. And for me not to pry all of that out of them.

And I think doing less is probably going to be doing a lot more in this case.

Well, I was, to give you some context, I was born and raised Catholic as well, and went to Catholic school for a little bit. And my dad wanted to be a Catholic priest. And then he met my mom and I even at one point wanted to be totally get it.
