Today’s Lively Show is a Q+A episode covering a lot of deeper questions than many recent Q+A episodes including topics like…
Selfishness (the good and bad kinds), dealing with the relationship ‘sock debate’, flowing while still getting the important stuff done, how to help kids set intentions, and more.
This episode is perfect for anyone who is looking to understand more about creating emotions before outcomes, parenting with Values-based intentions, or anyone looking to hear a wide range of thoughts on flow, alignment, and selfishness.

Hi Jess, I LOVE how you talked about helping kids live by their values, and to re-frame how they look at testing, learning and school. I would love to hear more about how I can help my kids live from their values, and was wondering what your opinion is on helping them shape those values. Since they are so young and still learning how to act in the world and with others, how do you suggest going about guiding them to follow their intuition? Do you think their intuition is already formed / developed enough as a child? I’m just really curious to know your thoughts on this 🙂
Thanks!

I’ve been listening to your podcasts for the past few months and find a lot of support for how I look at life. I am interested in reading on your blog or listening to the podcast where you explain what you mean when you say ‘starting with alignment’ or aligning instead of trying to action it into being (I think 😉 You also talk about flow being important vs pushing harder, etc. When I look through the podcasts, I do not see a title that sounds like it is the intro to what you mean when you use these words. Can you direct me where to look? I also do not see a way to search the blog or the podcasts using the terms. I am excited to learn more and hope you can tell me where the link is.
