EPISODE GUIDE
We’re still redeeming weird and laying it down as gospel, weird is wonderful. This is part two. We couldn’t stop exploring the wonder of weirdness and what it means to own your otherness! Randy conducted an experiment that may have been more wacky than weird. Hear how it helped him overcome the idea of rejection and gain more boldness. We dig deep into:
- What it means to stick out and stand up
- Who has the right to reject and who has the power to object to us
- How we can help kids understand when to conform and when to temper their otherness
- The tug to shrink-to-fit instead of growing into our expansiveness
- The danger of whittling ourselves and others down
If you need a permission slip to own and celebrate your otherness, this is the episode for you. If you need encouragement on how to embrace and encourage your child’s otherness, do not miss this show.
