I talk about trickster parent coaching.
The issue I see with all parents/couples is: lack of personal power - I distracted myself and never got to that in the recording. A close second is lack of respect for personal limits and/or either shaming or weaponizing personal limits.
I muse on what the signs of Capricorn, Aries and Scorpio would contribute:
Capricorn: respect for personal limits (consequences and responsibility/obligation are other Cap things to explore at a later date)
Aries: connection to personal power + ability to exert one’s will
Scorpio - it gets JUICY here - what happens when your kids tells you “no,” and why platonic parenting kinks can inspire life-force awakening sacred play with your kids.
Plus I share a super vulnerable personal story about my own parenting.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and can’t wait to have you sign up for the program - we begin in Aries season - March 2025!
Edit - adding the Libra piece: Mutual equitable regard. Regarding both yourself and the other. Balanced regard.
Both of you are allowed to take up space with your difference and both of you are also allowed your response/reaction to the other’s difference.
Accepting (normalizing) the difference of the other does not call your own difference into question or put it under attack or de-normalize it.
If they’re not a problem, it doesn’t mean that YOU are the problem. It means that neither of you is a problem, and maybe each of you SEEM like a problem to the other based on how important the difference you’re manifesting - in contrast to the other - is to you.
Difference is not mutually exclusive. Acceptance of another’s difference does not negate your own. You don’t have to LIKE their difference and they don’t have to like yours. Dislike of a difference might be uncomfortable but it doesn’t mean that either you or they are wrong - you for experiencing the dislike, they for stimulating it.
Yet a lot of the times it seems the only thing that will validate us is everyone’s sameness. If someone has difference, I need them to change their difference. Either so my own difference can feel unthreatened OR so I don’t have to experience the discomfort of my dislike of their difference OR both.
Edit for the Scorpio piece: “To survive dangerous parents, we have to become dangerous ourselves.” My contribution: Most - if not all - parents are dangerous to their children. That means we are all dangerous. And we need to unshame our fight/perpetrator parts instead of pretend they don’t exist.
