Loving: Ways of Being as a Parent - a podcast by Cordelia Gaffar

This is a very open honest conversation between moms and a new dad about who we are being as parents. Are you allowing your child to be free to develop or defining that for them?

Every human is a work in process and while unconditionally loving your own inner conflict you can unconditionally do the same for those you lead. 

This is the ultimate way to lead in integrity. This is the ultimate way to love what is. 

When you love what is you can love any person, anytime, anywhere for no reason. 

From this lens you can facilitate growth in your team members while doing the same for yourself. In fact isn’t that what we do as parents?

Some of your inner conflict may look like:

Publicly you proclaim that you love people unconditionally for no reason. Yet privately you limit your child from freely expressing themselves

Publicly you display that you are entrenched in your own personal development yet privately demonize your child for displaying your own inner poisons and ways of being

Publicly you encourage authenticity yet privately you discourage it when the person being authentic is your child
