One thing we’ll never have enough of in this life is time, especially with our loved ones. As we get older and closer to the ages our parents were as they raised us, it feels important to get to know them not only as parents, but as peers. After all, Mom and Dad are people, too. Today, Jill is sharing some ideas you can use to start having more meaningful conversations and deeper relationships with your parents.

You know we’re into personal development here, but just because we are doesn’t mean that the men in our lives are, too. Everyone knows you can’t force someone to change, and making them become more self-aware or spiritually conscious is no exception—and maybe that’s a good thing. Our differences are something to be celebrated, not changed! So while it might be nice to have a man who’s just as interested in bettering himself as you are, make sure you’re appreciating you’re man for who he is.

We’ve seen some shit and like it or not, we’re left a little jaded after all the pain, mistrust, and heartbreak. Once upon a time, we were innocent and optimistic about life, but now we just feel like bitter old hags. Anyone else? Okay, we might be a little overdramatic, but it feels like that sometimes! When your old self “dies,” it doesn’t feel possible to get that hopeful feeling back. Even if we can’t un-know the things we know now, we can at least let our pain fuel us into being better people.
