Summary

In some particular order, here’s how I attempted to entrain my only child into higher consciousness, mostly by example, but often by preaching in the kitchen while making burritos. 

Turns out that the kid incarnated as a wise soul, and my hot air was just some wind beneath his wings. 

This is for the parents, the kids, and the divine relationships that shape who we become. 

In this episode:

  • Why relationships > everything
  • The power of posture
  • The no-BS rules around money + media
  • How beauty, rock n’ roll, and boredom raise consciousness
  • Oversharing, emotional fluency, and saying sorry fast

0:53.8

And that grief and that aggravation, it's really time for you to go. And that grief and that aggravation has morphed

0:58.6

into excitement for both of us. And now it's basically, let's fucking go. I wept almost daily for weeks

leading up to his departure. He has a name, by the way. His name is Harper.

But anyway, back to my child.

I cried for the weeks.
