In this episode of Integrated Being, I sit down with Maggie Cook for an honest, heartfelt conversation about what it feels like to live in a world overflowing with information. We talk about how creativity, simple rhythms, and flow states can help bring emotional steadiness, especially when everything feels loud and overwhelming. Maggie shares her experience navigating art, social media, and the real challenges of managing time and energy as a high school student. Together, we explore the generational gap and why curiosity, understanding, and open communication matter so much between parents and kids today.
Bridging the Gap: The Generational Gap
Creating Space for Creativity:
I loved hearing Maggie share her experiences with art and how it’s become such a powerful tool for self-expression and relaxation. She talks about why it’s so important to set boundaries with technology to protect our mental health and keep a strong internal voice.
The Role of Social Media:
We also dig into social media how it can be inspiring but also distracting. Maggie opens up about the challenges of managing her time and energy as a high school student, and it really highlights the importance of understanding the generational gap to improve communication between parents and kids.
Conclusion:
Our conversation wraps up with reflections on balancing school, work, and hobbies, and the simple but powerful habit of writing down tasks to manage an overwhelming schedule. This episode is a reminder to me and hopefully to you of the value of simple rhythms in daily life and the importance of understanding and communicating across generations.
