And I think there's a truth to knowing that if someone is receptive and open to all of you in your full authenticity, and you won't be mocked or dismissed or laughed at or even at worst feared, you're much more willing to explore something with someone and be open about it and show those parts of you. Would you agree with that?

One of the most confounding things that I've found over the past few years is that teachers seem to be more effortlessly able to engage in this two-way telepathy than parents. And I wonder if you've noticed that and why it might be. And if it has something to do with just the natural, intense, emotional expectations that we put on kids, right?

Like if I'm watching one of my kids play in a basketball game, and they're not boxing out or going for the rebound. I'm having an agonizing experience internally. But if another kid's not doing that, I don't care. I think, oh, well, they're five, of course. They're just learning. But with my kid, I won't necessarily let my kid know, but I'm definitely like, oh, gosh, why?

And so could that be why just this thing that parents drape over our children unknowingly? Because it seems like in order to get to that space, you have to be totally empty and free and clear without any attachment or expectation.

Yeah. And Susie, one of the things that led me to you was your incredible book, Awesomism. And for those who haven't read it, how would you explain your book, Awesomism, in your own words? And what are some of your favorite takeaways from the book?

And if someone wanted to have a private consultation or sign up for a workshop or do one of the group lessons that you offer, how would they find you?

Yeah, that's a great resource. So any closing thoughts, Suzy? What do you want to leave us with?

Well, thank you so much, Susie, for your wisdom and your gifts and the ways that you are continuing to impact the world. And that's it for this episode of the Talk Tracks, but we'll be back a week from Sunday. And in our next episode, we'll explore precognitive abilities and the nature of time and even time travel.

Please remember to stay kind, stay curious, and that being a true skeptic requires an open mind. Thank you to my amazing collaborators. Original music was created by Elizabeth PW.
