Summary
Gary's been on a roll through these last few episodes! You've heard his insights on authenticity, relationships, and family - but this one goes out to all the parents, the wanna-be parents, the soon-to-be parents, and even the helicopter parents. You might want to sit down for this one, because on this episode, Gary's set his sights on parenting, the ways we regard our own parents, and answering these questions from the nation:
- While I’m working on myself, what can I do to unfuck my child from oversensitivity?
- Is it fucked up to use my child's future as a motivating factor?
- How can I have a relationship with my kid when they resent me for getting divorced?
- How should I weigh my own happiness against the happiness of others, including my children?
All that and more is ahead on this episode of Unfuck Nation with Gary John Bishop!
