I'M BACK!!!! Holy moly - that was a very long, unplanned hiatus! SO happy to be recording again! Thanks for being here.
There truly is no better way to kick it back off than with this incredible conversation with parent coach & author, Amanda Diekman. Amanda walks us through the "low demand" lifestyle and the JOY that comes right along with it. She helps us understand the difference between "hard" and "too hard" when posed with the question, "when should I push and when should I accommodate?" Yes, this episode is long, but it's also packed so FULL of Amanda's grace and wisdom as she demonstrates these game-changing, low-demand concepts! You ready? It's time to GROW UP!

It felt inappropriate and insignificant to discuss anything other than the heaviness, despair and grief we are collectively feeling after the Uvalde, Texas tragedy in the USA less than one week ago. It feels particularly horrifying when we consider the ages of most victims, while also adding to the weight of other current events (2+ years into a deadly pandemic, a war in Ukraine, divisive political climate, countless attacks on women and BIPOC as well as gender identity and sexuality... the list goes on.) In this episode I invited early childhood educator, mother, and good friend, "Ms. Katie" to offer her expertise through the eyes of both a teacher and a parent. It is a heavy but necessary conversation in this day and age. You ready? It's time to GROW UP.
