Regrets, We've Had A Few: Episode 440

Mom Hour Media
About this episode

While we try not to kick ourselves when we’re down and generally avoid second-guessing our parenting choices, we are human. And sometimes that means we experience regret. Today Meagan and Sarah reflect on some big and small choices we’ve made (or not made) throughout our parenting journeys, and why we’d do things differently if given the chance. We also reflect on regret as an emotion, and why sharing regrets can bring about connection with others. Join us!

(You may not want to listen to this episode with little ears close by as we touch on some magic making topics.)
