The Difference Moment-Identity Integration As a 2nd Gen Hare Krishna
A tour of our neighbor's home with our three year old sparks a conversation about our experiences growing up as a Hare Krishna youth. Join us as we reflect on the first times we realized we were "different", our journey of having double lives, how we attempt to feel whole and how we hope to support our own children on their own faith journeys.
Marriage and the Mental Load-Whose Job Is It Anyway?
Why is splitting household labor such a point of tension for couples? Why are women always complaining about the mental load? On this episode, we get candid, personal and vulnerable as we discuss and renegotiate the mental load and household responsibilities at the start of a new school year. Listen in!
Making Janmastami Matter-For (Little) Kids!
Janmastami is one of the most famous Hindu holidays. How can we celebrate it in a relevant way, especially for our younger children? Can young kids actually feel a real spiritual connection? Listen as Aksh and Gopika reflect on faith development theory and brainstorm practical ways to observe Janmastami in meaningful ways with our younger kids.
Leadership As Parents-When To Step In...When To Stay Out!
A heated encounter with our three year old over a bowl leads us to question our role as parents in our childrens lives. When do we assert our authority? When do we let our children lead? Do Bhakti scriptures have an opinion in this matter? Join us as we debate this tension and reflect on our own parenting journey.
