This week on Mommash, Brie Reich, mother of four sons and two daughters, speaks from the heart about the women who guided her -- the self-sacrifice and dedication of her own mother, who allowed Brie to follow her spiritual and intellectual path while raising her as an only child after a divorce when Brie was tiny, and the determined, insistent teacher who guided Brie after high school to a life-changing decision. Now, Brie guides her own six children as well as her students as the Director of Student Life at Amudim, a gap year program in Jerusalem. Brie speaks about flourishing after failure, making decisions in the moment, cultivating resilience, and suppressing parts of yourself to allow other parts to thrive. Plus, deciding whether to medicate your child, letting teens grow at their own pace, arranging vacations for teens and toddlers together, brutal honesty in preschoolers, overriding Cardinal Family Rules and proper oral hygiene.
