Bite Your Tongue: The Podcast Season 2 Episode 20: My Everything with Einat Nathan
The parent I hope to be. The Children I hope to raise.
We believe that this episode will change everything you think ever thought about parenting.
This is one of the most personal interviews we've done. Our vulnerability in raising our own adult children is challenged.
On this week's episode we speak with Einat Nathan, parenting expert and best selling author.
We talk to her about her recent book, My Everything, was released in Israel in 2018 and become a national bestseller. The book was translated into English and is now one of the #1 non-fiction books selling on Amazon.
Her approach is relationship focused. She says: "“I believe that parenthood is like a bungee jump. It’s scary and fun, it makes you fly and often lets you down. This book isn’t so much a parenting guide as an exploration of the complex emotional journey of being a parent, reminding us of the courage and energy it requires as well as acknowledging that no parent is perfect and at the end of the day, this relationship is about connection”.
MY NAME IS EINAT AND THIS IS MY EVERYTHING
We talk about everything from our egos, why anxiety is a misleading emotion, how to remain significant as our children grow and here are a few things she said that keeps us thinking:
- "Just as you think about a talk with a good friend, they need us curious enough, empathic enough, ready to have their back in a way that won't burden them with 'Oh God, I've ruined by mom's day' or 'She's over-identifying with me so maybe I should not tell her anything'"
- Every parent wants to be their adult child's first call when something goes wrong, but we need to earn that.
And how do we earn that? Just listen and learn.
