In this week's episode of the Old Souls & Seekers podcast, we're happy to share with you a conversation on how to deal with highly stressful and overwhelming situations in a way that is empowering and helps you stay centered.

A couple of events happened this last week that was very challenging for Ilan's son. As he's just started sixth grade he experienced some events at school that was upsetting and painful.

In today's episode, we dive into one of the more painful things you can experience as a parent that makes you feel helpless and can stir up a lot of anger.

We believe that everything in life is a teaching moment. Everything is here to teach you a lessonIlan Ferdman

We've all to some degree experienced traumatic experiences at school where we've been mistreated, threatened, or picked on. And these experiences can become deeply ingrained in our identity and haunt us for the rest of our lives.

So, in this conversation, we want to share with you how to show up as a parent in these types of experiences and also how to heal them if you experienced them a long time ago. We give you tools and techniques that can be life-changing both for you and your kids. Tune in!
