Be a better parent

In this episode, I reflect on getting back into meditation, the unexpected wisdom of Bluey, and how online negativity has pushed me to step back from social media. I explain why negative comments come from a specific sample of people—not reality—drawing from lessons I learned in grad school research classes. I also talk about parenting stress, the statistic that 20% of couples split within the first year after having a child, why betraying a child’s safety is the deepest form of betrayal, and why so many of us are afraid to die. We wrap it up with a challenge: maybe growth doesn’t come from comfort—but from learning to embrace struggle bubbles.
