Episode 34: Paula Faris—How to Raise Confident Kids in the Age of Identity Crisis

September 05, 2023 • Cindy Monroe • Season 1 • Episode 34

When it feels like your worth is determined by your work and your calling equals your career, how do you talk to your kids about identity?

I’m so excited to welcome back Paula Faris to the podcast. She’s an Emmy Award-winning journalist, podcaster, speaker, business owner, mom of three, and author of the new book, Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Today, we are diving into a topic many parents and business owners wrestle with. It’s the identity crisis facing kids today. How do we walk alongside our kids as they discover who they want to be—not just what they want to become? Paula and I talk about how society's equation of worth with career has impacted this generation of kids. Plus, Paula shares the parenting approach she’s using to change the conversation with her kids, including the practical questions you can ask your kids today. Paula even reveals how the media's representation of success and achievement has influenced her approach towards parenting (this was super interesting!).

Your worth and value are found in so much more than a job or career—and your kids need to know that too. This episode will show you how!
