Deep (Parenting) Wisdom and Destiny -with Lisa Marchiano

conversations along the way

What an absolute treat to get to have this conversation with Lisa Marchiano, who has been such a huge influence on keeping me tethered to sanity and then eventually figuring out how to tap into my own deep wisdom, which as we discuss, is part of human nature. We hit a number of topics, focusing mostly on parenting which we tackle from a few different angles. We also talk a bit about what it means to be human, with Lisa sharing a number of resources on psychological development.

A link to the short video, “It’s not about the nail.” (Less than 2 minutes long.)

Links to Lisa’s work:

Lisamarchiano.com where you’ll find information about her book, Motherhood, as well as her blog and other offerings to support the profound experience of mothering.

This Jungian Life podcast We reference episode #236 - The Problem with Problems: solve or avoid? Another very relevant episode is #129 - At Home in Our Bodies: Incarnation & Individuation

As usual, the SMP online learning community submitted powerful questions for the rich Q&A session. Paid subscribers can watch for that to be released in the next few days!

At this point, I have embraced this destabilizing, sometimes excruciating, sometimes wondrous experience of having a trans-IDed child as “curriculum of the soul.” Because I can’t help but imagine how different the world might be if we could all take the hardest thing in our lives and view it as this, as curriculum of the soul. Practitioners of Stoicism might say, "the obstacle is the way." These are my conversations and reflections--along the way.
