The Kids Are Alright: Sarah & Nippy on Zen Parenting

Published: Jan. 9, 2023, 9 a.m.

This episode is sponsored by Better Help and was originally released on Zen Parenting Radio. Here\\u2019s a scary thought: fully-grown adults are susceptible to cults, or cult-adjacent behavior (there is truly cultish influence all around us in politics, wellness communities, and so on). So imagine how dangerous this whole world is for children, who are far less likely to have the wherewithal to identify and refute coercive persuasion. If you\\u2019re one of our regular listeners, you already know how ubiquitous this shit is (unfortunately); so what can we do to protect our youth?\\xa0

Well, that\\u2019s exactly what we got into with our friends over at Zen Parenting Radio, where Cathy Cassani Adams (a self proclaimed \\u201cspiritual and emotional mom\\u201d) and Todd Adams (\\u201ca logical and practical dad\'\') get into all things parenting. On their show, we not only recount our own story with NXIVM (perhaps you\\u2019ve heard about, read about, or seen it by now?), but also the importance of talking to kids about how relationships that might initially feel exciting or just \\u201cgood\\u201d in some way\\u2014friends, coaches, teachers, bosses, etc.\\u2014can quickly pivot into something abusive. How can we teach kids to identify culty behavior and help them feel safe enough to ask for help?\\xa0

This one\\u2019s for anyone who believes we need to keep our kids safe from evil, shitty shitheads.
