Kaycee joins me today to share the inspiration behind her book: SoulStroller and discusses what it means to be a wise elder in today’s culture. We discuss why it’s important for elders to share their mistakes and failures with the younger generations and the importance of allowing yourself time to grieve through challenging circumstances. We also discuss how curiosity helps you develop the wisdom to mentor others and the role that listening and asking questions can play when we mentor the younger generation. “As wise elders, offering the questions is one of the best things that we can do.” - Kaycee Stevens Hughlett This week on Coffee Table Wisdom: The story that her memoir unfolds and the inspiration behind her book’s title What it means to be a ‘wise elder’ The purpose of being an elder in today’s culture Why it’s important for elders to share their mistakes and failures with the younger generations Why we need to step into grief and how it acts as a healing balm for our soul How curiosity helps you develop wisdom The role that listening and asking questions plays when mentoring the younger generation How Kaycee gained inspiration for the characters in her book that represent the various mentors she’s had throughout her life Connect with Kaycee Stevens Hughlett: Kaycee Stevens Hughlett’s website SoulStroller: experiencing the weight, whispers & wings of the world SoulStrolling Inspiration Deck Twitter Instagram Join the Revolution!
