What if I am indebted to another person and I’m not able to return the favor, would that be distorted?
This mother wants to know if she is obligated to follow through on a favor she believes she is responsible for, even if it puts her children at risk.
Remember, my first responsibility is to create a home of safety for myself and my immediate family. I create a home of safety by being rigorously personally responsible, impeccably honest and vulnerably humble. I protect my loved ones, for whom I have stewardship. Only after these obligations are met, am I available to consider other obligations.

243: Speaking The Truth About Death
How do I approach uncomfortable topics such as cancer and death with my children? How do I share with my children about a loved one with limited time?
The movement of life is vulnerable. The Truth is that death is a part of this vulnerable movement. Children need to know that death is part of the existence we live in. Learning to mourn and grieve is a Truthful movement. Grieving is a principle of Truth.

242: Keeping Kids Safe in a Predatory Society
It is no surprise that children are growing up in a predatory society. Businesses, schools, governments and special interest groups are all finding ways to exploit and make profits off of our children. How do we, as the adults in their lives, keep them safe?
Humans are the most intelligent of all the animal kingdom; yet, we are the only parents who show our babies how to move towards, instead of away from, predators. Animals teach their young to follow their intuition and run away from predators. We as humans supply our young with access to predators.
Listen to one simple change you can make in your household today that will significantly protect your child from those who would cause harm. Teach your young how to arm themselves with protection, using one very simple principle.

241: Holding Onto Trauma Will Make You Sick
The Truth about experiencing life is that most of us have experiences that are upsetting and even traumatizing. This is absolutely part of the human experience.
The Truth is we are not meant to stay there in those experiences. We are meant to move through the upset and the trauma.
What about PTSD? Can a person with post traumatic stress disorder, still move through their trauma? Can Truth heal someone who has been in therapy for years and is still triggered by sights, sounds, smells and memories?
Listen and find out for yourself how honesty, responsibility and humility are tools ANYONE can use to create a life of connection.

240: Distorted Boredom
Boredom comes from a desire to connect but not wanting to be responsible for doing what’s necessary to connect. Boredom is a conundrum of wanting stimulus but feeling inconvenienced at the work it will take to feel that stimulus.
Have you ever had a child react in aggression when they were bored because you wouldn't jump in and entertain them? If so, here is a child who is putting the responsibility to FEEL onto you, the parent. They are saying, “It’s YOUR job to make me feel better.” Anytime a person places the responsibility of their emotions onto another, that person is acting out his/her distorted perceptions.
Boredom is not to be feared! It is a choice! Come learn how empty spaces of time can lead to creativity in Truth or boredom in distortion.

239: Drinking And Drugs Are Not The Problem
Your child is on the brink of turning 18 and you find out that he's drunk at his friend's house.
You're shocked! You thought he was safe. You call and tell him you're coming to pick him up.
What type of boundaries do you, as the parent hold?
Drinking is not really the issue at this point. Drinking is a symptom of his aggression, of his fear of his irresponsibility, of his entitlement, of his distortion, of his fear that he's not enough. His entitlement and lack of empathy, his dishonesty and irresponsibility is at the root of his belief that he is not enough.
So what do you do as a parent when you want to live in Truth?
