Are Your Politics More Important Than Your Child? One Question to Ask Before You Vote
Find the right level of support for you!
Is your vote reflecting your own values, or someone else's approval?
This is the first episode in a month-long series leading up to the midterms. Heather shares the moment her daughter, in tears, asked her not to vote for Trump again, and what that moment forced her to confront about whose approval her politics had actually been seeking. She offers a thought experiment built around three questions to sit with privately this week.
In this episode, you'll learn how to:
Ask whether your vote reflects your values or someone else's approvalName what it would cost you to change your mind, and who you'd be afraid of disappointingRecognize whether your child feels safe bringing you their hardest political and personal questions
Press play for three questions worth sitting with before you vote this midterm.
