In this episode of "La Befana’s Table”, I am joined by Elisa Spring, a mother of wild and free-range children, an apprentice to eros and grief, who believes in the power of truth-telling to foster intimacy.
You had me at the title. I feel if nothing else the biggest tell I gave both my kids was honesty of a my personal growing up story at as many turns as appropriate. Age appropriateness is a challenge. I think and know having been 'the kid" when some generational elders shared only their unresolved pain in the form anger towards their children.

The ones sharing their unresolved pain are only elder by age and not wisdom. I'm happy the episode resonated.
