Amy and Margaret dive deep into the concept of radical acceptance—what it is, what it isn’t, and how it can transform your approach to parenting, relationships, and life’s toughest moments. From the wisdom of the Serenity Prayer to Buddhist teachings about the “second arrow,” the hosts unpack how accepting reality (without judgment or resistance) can help you move forward, even when things are hard.

In This Episode:

  • What is radical acceptance? (Hint: It’s not denial or resignation!)
  • The “second arrow” metaphor: why our reactions often cause more suffering than the original pain
  • How radical acceptance helps parents deal with shame, guilt, and the pressure to “fix” everything
  • Real-life examples: from parenting challenges to personal setbacks
  • Actionable steps: mindfulness, self-compassion, and telling yourself the truth
  • Why acceptance doesn’t mean giving up—it’s the first step to wise action
