In a time of parenting being largely defined as how well our children behave and how close we can get to completing the Pinterest checklists, let me remind you that sometimes acknowledging that you did your best is enough.

Episode #2-Personal Childhood Traumas
October 19, 2020 13:00 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MBHey Y'all! Join me on the couch this episode as we address the reality that most of us adopted messaging in childhood stemming from less than stellar events that have followed us into adulthood and sometimes in our parenting.

When nothing changes, nothing changes and I think we can agree, we want better for the next generation.
