Just got off the phone with my mum. Funny how we were talking this morning about how parents can still trigger us — and then life gives you a real-time example. 😅 We’ve learned here, that when a trigger comes up, it’s simply something still alive in us. And with all the work we’ve been doing — being in the now, in joy, in fullness — I know these are just old stories. And our parents have their own old stories too. My mum and I have come such a long way, but of course, there’s still stuff (and that’s okay hehe). Today, she was joyful and radiant, talking about how happy she feels and how others notice it too. Then I shared about my work and the event we’re organizing, and the moment I mentioned the number of sign-ups, her accountant brain kicked in:“Oh, only that many? That has to change!” I smiled and said, “Mum, why this energy? let’s shift this. Let's look at it form another angle: We’re already in the plus! We’ve barely promoted, people are signing up, and there’s more to come. Why go into scarcity?” She laughed, “Well, in some things I’m still old school/old.” And I said, “Yeah, but you just told me how young and radiant you feel and now you want to be old school/old here? (got her on that one hihi) That’s just a story, and you can change that too.” She giggled, “You’re always giving me work!” And I said, “You gave me so much to untangle, I’m just giving some back. Because this isn’t my story anymore. And it allows us to have more fun together!” We both laughed. And honestly, that’s the beauty of it, we can meet our parents in love, playfulness, and truth. It’s not about changing them (some things won't) BUT it’s about staying rooted in who we are, and letting that energy teach through joy. ✨ Happy Weekend 🌻
