If adding a little bit of them to this role of bonus parent that I hold right now feeds me and makes me better for them, makes me better for my family, if keeping some fluidity around how I define myself so that I can be flexible and make sure that I am doing what is best for the people I love, if that feels right, then why not? It feels right.
Life rarely follows a straight path, and DeAnn Knighton captures this beautifully in this episode of 'Show Up and Stay'. She opens up about the unexpected turns her life has taken, starting with her experience of not getting into grad school. Instead of seeing it as a setback, DeAnn decided to slow down, complete her undergraduate degree in psychology, and continue her meaningful work on the podcast.
This episode is a testament to the power of embracing the in-between moments and finding new directions when plans change. DeAnn also dives into her role as a 'bonus parent', offering a fresh perspective on family dynamics and societal expectations around motherhood. She explores the concept of 'Otherhood', inspired by Melanie Notkin's work, shedding light on the diverse experiences of modern women. But it doesn't stop there.
The episode takes a reflective turn as DeAnn revisits themes from previous episodes, including forgiveness and personal growth. A special mini music therapy session adds an emotional touch, making this episode a rich tapestry of personal stories and insights. If you're navigating life's unexpected twists or redefining your path, this episode is a must-listen.
