In this episode of the EZ Conversations podcast, Furkhan engages in a deep discussion with Marcus Higgs, a communication coach for parents of preteens. We explore various topics, including the influence of words, culture's impact, and faith's role in shaping one's beliefs. Marcus shares insights from his experiences teaching and working with parents, emphasizing the importance of understanding personal values and virtues. The conversation delves into the power of storytelling, the significance of being a curious learner and finding meaning through connection with others. Marcus reflects on his journey of faith and belief, highlighting an openness to learning from different perspectives and experiences. • • Marcus is a 'communication coach' for parents of adolescents 10 to 14 years old. He helps parents effectively show up, connect with their preteens, and secure a relationship while their child is pulling away. • • Marcus especially finds joy in supporting multicultural families, families who communicate across generational and cultural divides. He has served internationally (in East Asia, Europe, South East Asia, Middle East and South America) for over a decade and a half. Marcus also grew up in a diverse home (with a mother from the Philippines and a father from the Bahamas), so he understands the challenges of an intercultural family. • • You can learn more about him and his work at MarcusHiggs.com • • • • 03:27 Introduction and Guest Welcome • • 04:15 Guest Background and Career Journey • • 06:35 The Power of Words and Communication • • 09:31 Exploring Faith and Cultural Experiences • • 14:07 Working with Children and Parenting Insights • • 19:23 Understanding Culture and Human Connection • • 24:39 Experiences as a Bible Teacher • • 26:19 Cherished Memories of Bible Classes • • 26:27 Understanding Religion Through Different Lenses • • 27:01 The Role of a Teacher: Learning from Students • • 28:26 The Power of Listening and Understanding • • 30:58 Creating Safe Spaces and Imaginary Friends • • 32:59 Exploring Evolving Beliefs and Convictions • • 39:22 Virtues and Values in Education and Parenting • • 43:17 The Importance of Self-Knowledge and Resilience • • 49:24 Final Reflections and Contact Information • • • • Sponsors of the Podcast: • • • • BetterHelp: â â â â â https://betterhelp.com/ez10â â â â â for 10% off your first month of therapy • • • • WeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/... for 35% all plans. • • • • Aura: https://aura.com/ez10 for a free two-week trial • • • • Plunge: https://plunge.com/ez • • • • Mint Mobile: â https://trymintmobile.com/ez10â for 15$ for an unlimited cell phone plan • • • • Mental: â https://getmental.com/ez • • • • • If you would like to support EZ Conversations, here are all the ways you can do that: • • • • Instagramâ â :â â â â / eunoiazenâ â â • • • • â â Facebookâ â : â â â â / eunoiazenâ â â â â â â â â â â â • • • • YouTubeâ â : â â â â https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrqB... • • • • LinkedIn: â â â â / â • • • • Patreon: â â â â â â https://www.â â â â â â patreon.com/EzConversationsâ â â â â â â â â â â â • • • • • Or find Furkhan's Book, Pursuit of Self Love: 30 Uplifting Messages and Reflections.
