The part I found the most challenging was being a parent amid the divisive sentiments of our country. It felt impossible to stand firmly behind the beliefs on which I was raised. The instructions of our own parents to, “play nicely” seemed distant aspirations, at best. How could we possibly ask this of our children when the world-at-large seemed to be slipping ever so swiftly into a pattern where manners didn’t matter and rigidity of beliefs exacerbated controversy, inappropriate behavior, and a seemingly infectious absence of empathy. This is not a political statement, this is a reflection of the human experience. As a human race, we seemed to have lost our way. As a parent, this was a heartbreaking glimpse into a future I did not want for my children. - Subscribe for free on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5aPtDs5VOnqpbQpF12SLZN Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/building-pickleball/id1666931896 Get in touch via email or Instagram: Email: buildingpickleball1@gmail.com https://instagram.com/buildingpickleball?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= - Beat Provided By https://freebeats.io Produced By White Hot 8 2 YouTube Video UExYQjZDY0J4amhoa01lYWVmT3NmU1VfT0tNZXZQTTlIMC4wMTcyMDhGQUE4NTIzM0Y5 Apparel brand pros are ASKING to wear | Aubri Steele of Civile | Building Pickleball Podcast Building Pickleball February 8, 2023 1:00 pm I interview Ryan Cohen, co-founder of Volair Pickleball, pickleball gear brand co-founded with pro Julian Arnold.
