TWINTALK: We’re Not Done Yet / Empowerment

Today on the podcast we explore why and how we’re working to grow up alongside our kids. We examine the pressure-filled impostor syndrome of new parenthood, the power of the growth mindset, the weight of our egos, and ways to play in the gray with our our learning as well as our kids’. When we can respect our kids as equals, then we can move forward, hand in hand, growing together. When we can show vulnerability, resilience, awareness and humor in our mistakes and successes, they are given that permission, too. And when we can say “I’m not done yet”, then we can all feel brave enough to ask “what’s next?” We laugh, we cry, we lean in.
