The Courage To Be 183: 20 Human Skills We May Be Losing
Are we slowly outsourcing the very skills that once made us human?
In this episode, I reflect on a message my mother sent me that sparked a deeper question about attention, patience, memory, and the everyday abilities that quietly shape our lives. As technology grows more convenient, it’s worth pausing to ask what might be fading in the background, both for us and for the next generation.
This conversation explores awareness, parenting, human skills, and how small habits shape capable, resilient humans.
What if the real question isn’t what kids are learning today… but what they might be losing without realizing it?—and some of these skills apply to adults too—
