Each month, I offer a free Practical Philosophy online class. The September 2020 class was called, “The Existential Crisis of Parenthood.” There are plenty of classes to learn how to swaddle a baby or how to discipline a toddler, but virtually none to honor and discuss the identity-shifting, earth-shaking experience of becoming a parent.
If you missed it, you can watch the class in its entirety here:
In this class, we discuss:
How parenthood disrupts your sense of identity, meaning, values, purpose, and responsibility
How parenthood can put you into a crisis of confidence, leaving you feeling like you don't know how to do anything well
Why no one talks about parenthood this way
How to find and connect with like-minded people also grappling with the groundlessness of parenthood
At the end, there is a Q&A with participants, and one participant receives free live coaching during class! I also mention my online course The Meaning of Motherhood, which is now open for registration, and my application for a free 90-minute Discovery Session.
