EFR 512: The Great Unlearn - How to Give Yourself Grace When Creating New Belief Systems with Cal Callahan

Cal Callahan is the host of The Great Unlearn podcast, on which he dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Chase and Cal kick things off with a discussion on parenting, with Cal disavowing the oft-quoted saying, "There's no such thing as a bad kid; just a bad parent." There was a time he believed it, but not anymore. He now insists that parenting is about showing up for your kids while allowing them to experience the fullness of life. It's about setting appropriate boundaries but never beating yourself up when your children stray on occasion.  "I'm not doing this because I want to be a cool dad," says Cal. "I'm doing it because I want this kid to have his own experience. And I want to show him that I trust him and I trust his judgement."  And just as Cal had to unlearn everything he thought he knew about raising kids, so too did he have to forgo many of his beliefs about how to live his own life. Listen in as Cal dares us to question our belief system, to figure out whether our beliefs are really ours or someone else's, or to simply discover whether or not we've been BSing ourselves all our lives. He invites us on a journey back into our body, where we're able to put our trust in our hearts over our minds. Finally, he challenges us to continue loving our wounded selves even as we unlearn our old paradigms and step into a new phase of knowing.   Follow Cal @cal.callahan Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Key Highlights Cal reflects on how he was forced to reevaluate his "picture-perfect" existence when he found himself fearing for his life during the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. Most people never experience a radical come-to-Jesus moment as Cal did in 2017. How can the average person find their own unique path to healing and making big changes in their life? How can you continue to love the past version of yourself and glean valuable lessons from that "previous" life as you step into a new phase of knowing.
