“It’s a lifelong failing: she has never been prepared. But how can you have a sense of wonder if you’re prepared for everything? Prepared for the sunset. Prepared for the moonrise. Prepared for the ice storm. What a flat existence that would be.” ― Margaret Atwood, Stone Mattress: Nine Tales

They discussed the importance of understanding childhood experiences that shape these internalized beliefs and the value of treating negative self-talk with compassion. The conversation concluded with strategies for managing difficult family situations and interactions, including approaches to self-care, boundary-setting, and the benefits of reflective practices, along with plans for upcoming workshops and future meetings.
