In this short monologue, Dr. Marcy Cole reflects on the limitations of focusing solely on mental states when navigating emotions, especially in the context of conscious co‑parenting. She emphasizes the importance of attending to bodily sensations and the spirit, describing herself as a "spiritual being having a physical experience." By acknowledging what the body signals, she suggests we can gain deeper insight into our feelings and make more authentic parenting choices. The talk is not about religious doctrine but a personal bias toward integrating somatic and spiritual awareness into everyday emotional life.
