Episode 59: Sedikwa ke ntja pedi ha se thata with the Kgobokoes

In this episode we sit with the Kgobokoe family talking about the impact of raising our genies as a couple. As stated by the setswana idiom 'sedikwa ke ntja pedi ga se thata' which is more aligned to the 'it takes two to tango' or  'it takes a village to raise a child' narrative.  According to the Kgobokoe, parenting begins with the relationship of the mother and father where they illustrate or lay the foundation of a good relationship where they communicate, love and respect each other and genies mimic those behaviors from their parents. They also compared parenting with pottery because a potter shapes, molds and form artwork made out of clay with their steady, same applies to parenting genies need to be shaped and molded with steady hands so that at the end of the day parents get to produce the type of a human being they wish to see their genies become. The Kgobokoe shared that according to them a genie is someone who can say their mind instead of being caged into limiting beliefs of parents or other older people. Genies should be allowed to explore and find themselves by being given space to use their own thinking and question things that are questionable. Genies should be allowed to express themselves in a respectful manner its okay for them to not agree with their parents but should always remember to be respectful. It is important for genies to have both parents parenting them because each parents plays a different role in the genies' life and this also enables parents to share responsibilities to ensure that the life that is being brought up has a fighting chance in this world. The growth of a genie needs both the masculine and feminine spirits because they both play  different roles in the upbringing of the genie. 
Yummy quotes from this episode: At times our genies can be a great medicine to parents when going through a rough patch and they also give great advice when listened to. When you need to learn you must teach. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode and that it helps you to be more welcoming of help with raising your genies because it really takes a village.

Episode 57: Unschooling with Roxane

In this episode we talk to Roxane Maar. Roxane is originally from Denmark but is currently residing in Portugal with her family. She shared with us that parenting has given her a different perspective on what being a parent means and that she did not know a lot about parenting until she became a parent herself. She also mentioned that she strongly believes in justice being served and that when she sees injustice she gets really triggered, however being a parent came with a lot of unfairness and she had to learn to deal with that. At first she thought if she had a full proof plan on how to go about her parenting journey things will workout perfectly but instead she learned that she can't control everything. Roxane shared that her childbirth experience was not a pleasant one and that led to her altering the plans that she initially had. One of which was going back to work full time but instead she had to resign after a year because she wanted to be fully present for her genie. This was a culture shock in her society because she was a business owner and society expected her to take her genie to childcare and continue working. Roxane shared that she thinks genies are magical beings and that we can learn a lot from them. She shared that before she became a parent everything was about her and that she was very selfish but her genies taught her to self sacrife and that not everything is about her. She says that before she had her genies she was living a non committed life but now she is committed and present at all times. Yummy Quotes from this episode: In order to change nothing you need to change everything. Saying that everything else is bad is not acknowledging learning's from others and their work.

Episode 54: It takes a villages series with Neo S

This episode is about honoring powerhouses that touched hearts of little innocent genies (children) who maybe some of them were unsure of themselves. At times people who see and acknowledge us rub us in the right way that we end up wanting to spread our wings. In this episode We connect to a powerhouse who happens to be my second mom as well Neo Mmokwa Setlhotlha. Neo is a wife, a mother and not just to the genies (children) she birthed but to so many of us and most importantly she is an educator. Neo says being a teacher is the best thing to happen to her and it is through her teaching that she and I connected and become mother and daughter. She has been teaching for 29 years and still counting. Neo is a 51 years old woman who is enjoying the season she finds herself in at the moment and says she at times looks at her younger self and apologize for being so hard on her but she is grateful for her healing and being where she is today. Neo believes that being a parent is being an adult whom a genie (child) can trust, feel free to communicate with and that can also be able to listen to the genie (child). She shared that most adults were never listened to when growing up and they tend to think that's the way to go but however parents need to start listening more to their genies (children) as they are missing out on an opportunity to learn from their genies (children). Neo also shared that she believes that parenting is not only limited to childbearing but believes that anyone can be a parent. She says she knows that because she and Neo (the genie coach) have a wonderful bond and relate to each other as mother and daughter. Neo also alluded that she believes that parenting has no skill but one learns to parent as they go and as generations changes parenting also evolves. According to Neo a genie (child) is an imprisoned being but given a chance they will grown into big and beautiful beings. I also shared a bit about my school experience and how Neo made it a magical experience for me. Neo's nurturing helped me become the person I am today.
Yummy Quotes from this episode: Parents need to learn to listen more to genies because we can learn slot from them. When you know better, you do better.

Learn and let go of things that happened to you and give yourself grace. I hope you will enjoy this episode and please share and comment in the comment section down below.

Episode 53: Moving our feels through yoga with Dale

In this episode we sit down with Dale De Klerk who is a certified yoga teacher and the founder of #Beingme yoga studio based in Johannesburg. Dale started his yoga journey over 20 years ago and amongst his many achievements, he is trained as a vinyasa flow teacher, African memetic yoga teacher training, teen yoga training, trauma sensitive yoga training as well as kids yoga teacher training to name a few. He started his yoga journey over 20 years ago and he says that yoga led him to a much deeper self connection and gave him a sense of calmness and a new zest to life. Dale was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2010 and found that, in particular, the yogic breath was indeed his best friend and healer. He gives more insight on this during the conversation. Dale believes that everyone deserves a bit of space every now and then and within that space a bit of freedom but instead everyone is just so preoccupied with work and everyday life that they haven't given themselves enough time to fully connect with self. He further said that the education system does not allow people to connect to self. He believes that people are being taught so much about alot of  things but nothing about self, yet all people's relations reflects were people are and that is rarely pleasant. Dale says people are not equipped with the right tools to navigate through the not so good days and feelings. What tools do people have to use when they are having breakdowns? He has been volunteering in schools where he teaches kids yoga and says he believes that people learn better when they play. He says yoga creates calmness in people which helps them to navigate through life, so he his dream is to get yoga into more schools to help kids navigate through their emotions and also help them deal with life. Something that Dale wishes he knew as a child is yoga especially as a teenager because that would have helped him to navigate through trauma, hurt and the hurt that he inflicted on people when he was hurt. He shared a  quote that said: " when poison is thrown at us in order to get rid of it, we inflict it on others" and he believes that teachings of yoga such as the yoga philosophy would have helped him navigate through all the childhood trauma and to help him understand that it's not his fault and just go through life with a lighter load. This episode is filled with gems for everyone and will hopefully assist you on your parenting journey. Listen in and leave me a comment in the comments section below.  Yummy quotes from this episode: Everyday is a new day open yourself up to new possibilities and let go of all the trauma and just be in the moment and enjoy. People who live the most fruitful and beautiful life practice peace of mind and gratitude. Do you have the patience to wait till the mud settles and the water is clear, can you remain unmoving till the answers appear. We learn better when we play. People need to allow themselves to feel their emotions and acknowledge where they are in those moments. People need to start practicing gratitude and filling their cups first because you can't take care of others if you don't take care of self.

Episode 51: Playfullness with Floris

In this episode we are joined by Floris to explore the concept playfulness and how it is not just something reserved for the genies.
Floris has learned to take his play ideas seriously and then see what happens.
So his idea for this dream is: when everyone on the globe goes out to picknick on the same day, being in nature, being with each other (instead of behind computers, phones, etc), when they share food, warmth, play/sport/make music together then we remind all of humanity what's it about and help to create a less stuff/more presence experiential culture.
Floris shared how he never stopped playing and that he plays in his profession and even went as far as inventing his one job title.
He had an enterprenuership school which he founded where student entrepreneurs could invent their own business, unfortunately the school like many other could not survive the pandemic.
Floris believe that when we play, we become active in it and are in functioning so many levels that can’t be recognized or be measured and that’s why the school seems to have killed play.
He continued to say that playfulness allows us to be aware and be intune with our bodies.
The school teachers teaches kids what they learned instead of allowing that the kids create and share their knowledge as creative beings. He shared a beautiful life story of how this unfolded for him when he was 5 years young.
Play is about communication and consent says Floris. It also helps with flexibility and adaptability.
He shared a different perspective of how often we focus on strength to be successful yet he found a way to embody his own weaknesses and become successful from it while embracing and alchemising the shadows.
Yummy quotes from this episode:
We are all mammals and all mammals play and learn through play.
Seriousness is a way to imprison people
All children should climb trees
Some adults think that children are some empty vessel.
I made money with things I am bad at.
When everything is taken seriously, souls gets crushed.
Depression is often times a lack of play because you ignore the body and stay in the mind.
I hope you enjoy listening to this episode and that it helps you to allow yourself to lean more into your playfulness no matter how old you are.
