S1 Ep 11: Lessons from a Working Mom on Parenting with Authenticity

In this episode of Being Unapologetically Authentic podcast, host, Jean Tien, shares her experiences on raising children authentically. 

As a parent, navigating the world of authenticity can be tricky. We are the product of our parents, friends, culture, society, and everything around us. From the day we enter this world, survival depended on our ability to conform to the expectations placed on us. When we conform, we're obedient and rewarded. When we don't conform, however, we run the chance of being disregarded and disciplined. 

As a conscious parent focused on raising authentic, conscious children, Jean shares:

• her frustrations with the education system;
• the questions she's had to ask of herself in order to define her authenticity as a parent; 
• the conversations she and her husband have had in order to find the best way to support their children; and
• her experience in challenging the status quo.

Supporting children in a "different" way can be challenging but it is so rewarding when the risk pays big reward.
