Do do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

Here we go.

My name's Todd.

This is Kathy.

Welcome back to another episode of Zen Parenting Radio.

This is podcast number 603.

Why listen to Zen Parenting Radio?

Because you'll feel outstanding.

And always remember our motto, which is that the best predictor of a child's well-being is a parent's self-understanding.

On today's show, how are you going to title it there, sweetie?

Well, I was thinking about this because what we're going to share is about creativity,

but it's not creativity in the way that people think of creativity.

So I think the way I want to say this is that we are going to

discuss how what we love to do and what we can offer is why we are here and that we have to downplay

what society tells us, which is we have to compete for being the best, and instead

just enjoy our creative impulses. Because our habitual impulses, like, I need to get up, I need to

make the bed, I need to, you know, go be this parent. I need to, you know, check my email.

Those are like habitual. This is what I'm supposed to do. I'm saying that in air quotes.

But our creative impulses, and we'll get deeper into that, are really why we're here.

That's a different thing. As opposed to maybe we'll do it after we get all our stuff done today.

Correct.

And, you know, this kind of, you know, this is a weird word, harkens back.
