2. Parenting - A One-Way Street

In this episode of Recorded Vulnerabilities, Varsey Laurelle explores the complexities of parenting, particularly the challenges of navigating one-way relationships between parents and children. She reflects on her own experiences as a parent and child, discussing the generational shifts in parenting styles and the importance of setting boundaries. Through personal anecdotes and insights, she emphasizes the need for emotional intelligence and the significance of recognizing blurred lines in parent-child dynamics. The conversation encourages listeners to embrace their parenting journey, learn from mistakes, and prioritize self-preservation through healthy boundaries.

Exercise: 

• Create three columns labeled “Parent,” “Child,” and “Friend.” What are the defining traits or responsibilities for each? Where do you see an overlap?

• Where are the lines between these roles blurred in your relationships?

• Is that blurring okay, or is it causing confusion or harm?

• Which role, parent, child, or friend, feels most natural for you? Which feels hardest to define?

• What boundaries in your relationships need attention or clarity right now?
