Olympians of the Parenthood Decision

When I teach my classes or guide people through one of my 3-month Parenthood Clarity™ Courses (for Motherhood or Fatherhood), there is always some news that impacts everyone across the globe — not just a local area.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted everyone, no matter what country they lived in. 

New and ongoing wars impact everyone, natural disasters, etc. When we meet on a Zoom call with people calling in from Australia, the UK, Europe, Canada and the US, everyone’s hearts open to others.

And now, we have the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

I recently told one of my classes that they are participating in the Olympics of the Parenthood Decision. Truly exploring this decision is not for the faint of heart. There are not three, five, or ten easy steps then —voilà — you have your answer. No. 

You decide to look directly into yourself. You decide you are willing to look at unresolved issues you didn’t even know were there. You decide to work through exercises that take you to places you never expected to go.

Many people arrive in my courses with their lives in pretty good shape, but this undecided issue stands in the way of them moving forward. They are relieved to find the course, but they are also scared to know the outcome. For many people, the outcome has consequences that will be hard to face — like the possibility of ending a relationship. Or telling parents that there will not be grandchildren. 

I’ve always entertained calling the course The Parenthood Decision Boot Camp, but I don’t want to scare people away.

It does take an Olympian effort. AND while it can feel excruciating at times it is doable. 

Especially when you are not alone on the journey. When you can feel that you are not the only one – the weight is lifted. 

I am a cheerleader. I have been doing this work for 33 years. There isn’t a situation that I haven’t seen or heard about. I know the business of human beings — I know how resilient they are. I am able to hold out hope because of what I’ve witnessed again and again from participants in my courses. 

I know the freedom that people feel when there is clarity. I know that even when they are in the deepest discomfort, they will get to the other side of it — even if they are not sure. I know they will experience a weight lifted off of your shoulders.
