This week's Episode is very personal to both of us - the area of Parenting and how to be the dad you really want to be; how to be the parent that your heart yearns for you to be. We'll be talking about freedom and parenting – how can they exist together? Isn't this an oxymoron?! We'll talk about responding vs reacting in our parenting. We'll talk about getting triggered as a parent, what causes this and how to reduce the size of our trigger buttons. And we'll be discussing flow and the opposite of flow - resistance. We want to understand how we can get more flow in our parenting.

This episode is all about BELIEFS, specifically the key belief you need to change in life; the one belief that can really hold you back in life and prevent access to the true freedom that this podcast is determined to unlock for you and with you.

What is the difference between beliefs and values?How do we develop these beliefs and why are they so important in life?How can they help or hinder us in our lives, every single day? What is the number one belief holding us back in life? If we're holding onto beliefs that maybe aren't serving us so well, how can we start to change these beliefs? It can be done! And Bodhi's got the tools to do it….
