How does Karen describe the impact of constant noise and information overload on parents and kids?
Before we dive into this week's episode, I'm wondering how's parenting going for you at the moment? Do you feel like you've got it all handled? Or do you find yourself yelling at the smallest things or just feeling overwhelmed most of the time? If you're looking for some extra support, my eight-week parenting immersion is kicking off soon. It starts on October 19th. And over the eight weeks, we work through themes like trust, imprints, feelings, anger, play, boundaries, self-care, healing, repair, and we look at the patterns you picked up long before you became a parent and how they're actually showing up in your parenting right now. You'll walk away with real tools for the tricky moments, ways to build genuine cooperation with your kids, and a much better understanding of your own reactions.
So you can respond instead of react even on the hard days. This course is all online, there's recordings available, so if you can't join live, you can always catch up. There's workbooks, relaxations and the support of community. This is the only round I'm running this year, so if you'd like to join the wait list or sign up now, go and visit laylstone.com dot au forward slash immersions. Okay, now on to this week's episode. Ah the human experience. With our flaws, our passions, our triggers, our inspirations, and our imprints. If we could see behind everyone's story, then perhaps what we would have is deep compassion. In this podcast, I get the chance to explore these stories from some truly fascinating people in some honest and heartwarming conversations.
And best of all, I get to share these discussions with you. I'm Layle Stone, and this is Humans Being. Welcome to Humans Being, I'm Layle Stone. And today my humanness is is actually uh feels a bit murky. Today's humanness isn't all uh fun and joy and gratitude and all the stuff. My humanness of what I've really been sitting with this week is just around all the noise that is out there, particularly you know, every time I pick up my phone, open social media, which I use for business and I'm very grateful for. But there are times, especially over the last few years, where the noise just feels so loud and I I kinda wanna throw my phone a across the room and just be like, I don't want to hear anymore and I don't want to
I don't wanna be bombarded with all this information and it feels like my nervous system just hits an overload point. Yet uh social media is a big part of my work and how I get to connect with people and I use it as an amazing business tool. And I'm also aware that, you know, there's lots of things I can do to to not have to be on social media and still keep my business running. But there's an important part that feels that I get to to stay in touch with what's going on and with people. But there are times where it just feels a lot and it feels like it overloads my nervous system. And, you know, I know the medicine for me within that is to put my phone down, is to go for a walk in nature, is to sit quietly, is to be still.
But sometimes it feels really big and sometimes I'm just sitting in that place of wow, the world is really noisy and it often makes me think about our kiddos, particularly our teenagers, who are still developing their brains and their bodies and all this information is coming in at a fast, rapid pace. And it doesn't surprise me one little bit that their mental health is something that is of great concern at the moment. So I speak this humanness because maybe some of you also relate to this, feeling the overwhelm, the noise, the the information overload. And I invite you to just tune in for a minute and think about what do I need to do for myself to either help restore that balance or just to buffer myself a little bit from the world and its intensities.
So after this beautiful conversation, I am gonna go for a walk in nature and I am gonna sit quietly and I've kind of committed to myself for a few days this week to just go a bit slower and to um to be a bit more still. So that is my humanness.
