A Chat With My Son
In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, I shared a personal story about a conversation I had with my son regarding the balance of masculine and feminine energies, particularly in the context of youth sports and coaching styles. I didn't know the conversation was going to go in that direction but it did.
I ended up reflecting on the difference between the two student teaching placements I had when I was a senior in college. After my first placement, I thought I had wasted money and time for four years in college because I couldn't teach the way my placement teacher was teaching. She was very stuck in fear and toxic masculine energy (this was the connection I was making with my son and his coach). It wasn't until I had my second placement that I realized there was a different way of gaining the respect of the students. Not only could this 'new way' be used in teaching, but it could also be used in all aspects of my life. The teacher for my second placement (who is now my sister-in-law) showed me what balanced masculine and feminine energies looked like.
We are often taught how to grip and "make things happen." I learned many years ago with the guidance of a wonderful mentor that not only is it okay but it's necessary to be vulnerable in front of others. I learned there is always another way to "get what we want." A way that doesn't deplete our energy tanks and keeps us vibing higher so we can radiate more joy into the world. I hope this podcast provides you with a great example of balance and understanding on how there is always another way.
I appreciate your support!
