In that moment, I decided to trust myself and not hold back. Every mother, every parent, regardless of how inconvenient, wants to know what might be harming their child so they can stop it, or take precautions and prevent it from happening in the first place.
Every mother, every parent, wants to know, regardless of how expensive new action might be, what they can do to protect their child.
How to Talk about
Difficult Topics
If your family and friends do not know, or believe what you tell them, about GMOs and toxins, 4/5G, medical freedom issues, or other topics threatening the health of your beloved family, this can be incredibly frustrating. I have been there. I know what it feels like to watch loved ones eat what you know to be poison, or use products you know to be harmful, and feel deeply saddened and frightened for them.
I offer you ways to create a foundation of open communication and methods you can use to talk with your family or friends about GMOs or any topic that you want to share with them that could impact their health.
We all need to speak up for the sake of our entire community and future generations.
Before you begin, just for a moment think about the way you normally talk to your family about this topic or other topics that may seem controversial. Pick a single person to focus on. Your mother, sister, or dad. How does the conversation usually go? What do you say, and then how do they respond? How do you feel? Do you feel tense and defensive? Frustrated?
Consider for a moment that how we think a conversation is going to go has a lot to do with what will actually happen. We can create tension, frustration, or resentment in a conversation just by expecting it to go in a certain way. We often speak in a way that generates the anticipated outcome, even if that’s not the outcome that we actually want.
For instance, if I expect my sister to be busy and act dismissive about a certain topic, when I address it with her I might say, “You are probably busy, but I want to talk to you about something.” The way I present it sets her up to agree she is busy and then be dismissive.
Thus, we often create the very thing we are trying to prevent.
We don’t have to do this. Instead, we can come from a place of love—a place of no expectations, of curiosity, and of creation. For a moment, in your mind’s eye, sweep away all those past conversations, whether they were about GMOs, 4/5G, or other topics.
