About this episode
"Parenting is not about perfection. It's about connection, empathy, and loving your child for who they are, while guiding them to become the best version of themselves." - L.R. Knost   In this episode, I talk about:
  • Why I'm surprised (and yet not surprised) by my reaction
  • How trust & communication skills play a big role in our relationship
  • Why waiting to 'do the work' is the worst plan ever!
