Bill Gallagher reflects on raising the next generation and challenging inherited narratives. He cites his sister and her young son Alex as examples, urging listeners to question the cultural programming we absorb and empower themselves to think differently.
My sister graduated with her bachelor's and her master's, and she has an adorable little boy. His name is Alex. And now when we think about the new generation and how we're raising the new generation, we don't talk to Alex or anybody about a stupid vase. And you have to be perfect. It's about challenging the norm. It is questioning the horrible stories that we were taught that become part of our programming and realizing that we deserve better and to give ourselves a chance, but also help empower other people around us and give them a chance as well.
