And would you say you're not?

I mean, there's times where we don't want to feel, right?

We all know that.

There's times where we're like, yeah, nah, I'm going to just binge watch something instead.

But do you feel that within both of you, you know that inevitably you'll turn towards it and lean in because you know that you'll come out the other side?

100%.

And I think it's going through hardships and having big things go on has taught us that

you need to feel because if you do push it aside it'll just come right back later on and it will then present itself in a bigger probably scarier way whereas you know i think for you to teach us to be so in tune with our bodies and our emotions when we were so young now i'm very grateful that we're at the point where when something does come up my initial instinct is not to all that scary push that away or shut it down it's to just allow it to be there if anything i probably take that too seriously when something comes up i'm just like no i've just got to see what my feelings today i

fear actually it's beautiful you say that indy because a fear i think of a lot of parents over the years is but if i let them express all their feelings are they going to become so indulgent in it are they going to just lose it every time something doesn't go the way they want to like what would you say to that i feel like that's a your question yeah definitely

Yeah, but also, I mean, you're a beautiful, sensitive, deeply feeling human, right?

You always have been, even since when you were little, you know, you were highly sensitive to your environment.

So what Kai and Tali could do sometimes was too much for you, too much capacity.

And I think one of the things that I look back on

that I wish I probably had a bit more understanding of particularly when you were little was really tuning into that sensitivity in you because you reminded me a lot of me like I was really really shy as a kid but as a parent you know sometimes we're like I just need you to get on and do it and just do the dance class or just get into the swimming lessons and then you're juggling all the kids

And I think one of the things that I really reflect on is I wish I had have slowed down more with you.

I wish I had have been able to really tune in and know that you are highly sensitive to your environment because that was actually one of your gifts.

And it is one of your gifts.

I think that's the biggest thing for me is I've been learning that it is not a weakness, it's a strength for me.

And I would rather feel everything a million times over than feel nothing at all.

But I think, yeah, I think it's been a struggle over the past years and
