Pokémon Pond

from Stories, Soul Work & Substack Hosted by John Rinaldo ©

We went to Pokémon Pond thinking we’d catch something magical. We didn’t. But the magic wasn’t in the catch—it was in the laughter, the fresh air, and the memory we created together. Why it’s important:Divorce and co-parenting can make parents feel pressure to “do big things” to make up for lost time. But the truth is—kids don’t remember the catch. They remember that you were there, laughing with them, fully present in the moment. 📖 Earned, Not Given is coming soon. —Rinaldo Enjoyed this?
