A short spoken reflection (YouTube video) emphasizing the power of being present: acknowledging and welcoming all inner parts (e.g., ‘dad parts’, ‘mom parts’) without shaming or blaming. The speaker describes presence as simply being with emotions (not fixing them), and argues this stance can produce a generational shift in parenting by modeling acceptance—allowing children’s moods to be felt and witnessed rather than corrected.

What keeps us from being here now with what is, what is, is love. And it's those parts of us that, you know, the dad parts, the mom parts, the experience parts. And it just go, well, that's a part. Thank you for doing your job. But, you know, when you come into self and you're really present, you go, oh, it's not a bad part. It's the shaming and blaming of those parts, like my dad and my mom and my brother, you know. But when you don't blame it anymore, go, well, thank you. You had a role, but just step aside. You can still walk with me, but I'm here. But how this is going to change your parenting of just to find out that all voices are welcome, all moods are welcome. You see your child being upset, you go, oh, yeah, you're having a good cry. I'm here for you. And not trying to fix it or make it better. You just be with it. That's the magic. And so this becomes a generational shift of how to be in the world.
