Hello CosmoParenting Community! Thank you so much for listening to this very first episode of our year-long podcast project. We believe that what we have to share is valuable, but we also know that the most valuable part of this actually comes from you! We hope that you will consider taking the time to comment anything you want to share, any questions or reflections you have, under each episode as you listen. We have so much to learn from each other if we all embrace curiosity, vulnerability, and authenticity in this process. Borrowing language from communication scholar John Stewart, we need both "invitations" and "offerings" in conversation with each other. Consider this episode our first "offering" to you and this comment our first "invitation" for you to contribute your own "offering"- whatever that might be. In addition to the questions provided in the episode, here is an additional prompt if you are not interested in sharing your reflections to those questions here: What is one or two words to describe what you are thinking and feeling as you listen to this episode? What questions come up for you? What would you like others who are parenting to know? What would you like to know from others who are parenting?
