Birthdays, Body Image, and Tough Conversations

In today’s episode of the podcast, Rachel talks all about toddler tantrums. Her two-year-old son is in a phase right now where he doesn’t like to wear pants, or sit in his car seat, or brush his teeth, and this often leads to some big emotional releases. But what if we shifted our views around? What if we could see a tantrum for what it really is - an intelligent little body learning how to hold and release anger?

We all need big emotional releases. We all need an outlet to feel the anger, pain, frustration, and despair we are encountering on a daily basis. If we don’t have that, our anger is going to lead to some hurtful places. This episode will teach you some valuable lessons, like where does your anger go? Tune in to figure it out.

Where Does Your Anger Go?

We are all connected to this earth, and we are all connected to each other. But whether we feel that connection or not depends on us. There are ways to strengthen this bond and bring it to life - and there are ways to dull it and cut ourselves off. So much of the suffering we see began with a sense of separation.

In today’s episode, Rachel shares actionable ways you can deepen your connection to the world around you. It will help you feel more compassionate and empowered to take action against suffering. Tune in for a reminder that there is no such thing as other people’s children - and other people’s suffering is our suffering too.

Living in a Beautiful Broken World

How is it possible to manage our anxiety when everything feels like it’s on fire? In today’s episode, Rachel talks about two separate worlds: Gaza, and where she is in Sweden, making red currant jam. How can these two worlds exist simultaneously? She shares more about a family she has been helping in Gaza, and how sometimes experiencing that anxiety and letting ourselves marinate in the suffering of the world can actually propel us into taking more action.

On the other hand though, Rachel goes deeper on how we have to keep our feet planted on the ground at the same time. We have to continue to immerse ourselves in the little things that make life feel good and remind ourselves that beautiful things do still exist. We have to make the red currant jam. Tune in for an insightful episode that will remind you of your duty to this world.
