About this listen

In this episode, we delve into the complexities of sharing difficult family stories with our children. Inspired by a piece from Time Magazine by Jessica Goudeau, we explore the challenging question of how to communicate our family's hardships without overshadowing the positive aspects of our experiences. The discussion touches on the importance of confession and absolution, particularly for men, and the innate fear of revealing dark moments in our lives. We consider the potential impact of these conversations on our kids and the balance between honesty and protecting them from the weight of our past. Join us as we navigate the delicate task of fostering open dialogue about our stories while ensuring our children can see the good that has emerged from our struggles.
