Recently I was teaching my son to drive. After two hours behind the wheel, I think he had a moment. He said that he’s so used to being in the back seat that it seems so easy. But when he got behind the wheel, he realized how it can feels so FAST!
I’m not sure if it worked, but I tried to use the moment as a “Dad moment.” I said, “It’s easy to sit in the back seat and lecture mom or dad for how we are driving. But when you get int he driver’s seat, it can feel like you are going 90 miles an hour! Life can be like that too, for us all.”

Can you remember your first time behind the wheel? I sure do. I drove my Uncle Jack’s Rambler in an farmer’s field and my younger cousin Paul was my instructor. Yeah… pretty stupid, but it worked.

In the podcast we also talk about recovery, what to do when you are ‘hooked’ by your thoughts, the impact of shame and how to have hard conversations with people you love.
