Ellie + Jared

Today we discuss our goals and where we are currently standing with them. We provide some insight on what makes a good goal and why that can be different for some people. Ellie decides to do something that will change our family dynamic and that I did NOT see coming. Big surprise for us.

Thanks for listening,

Today we continue to talk about sexual safety with kids and specifically about a conversation that Jackson had with Ellie. We feel like this intense conversation could not have happened unless we did the things which we talked about in Part 1. 

We know that each parenting style and kid is different so these ideas may not apply in every situation. We encourage you to do what you feel is best for your kids. That being said, we feel like it's something we need to do. We know our kids will be experiencing this at some point in time, they might as well learn to be safe and prepared from their parents in a controlled environment.

Today we get to sit down with the incredible creator Sara Dietschy! We discuss some of the big life changes she's made and how that has put her in a position to be living where she wants doing exactly what she wants. Life doesn't always go exactly how we see as we grow up and that's okay. Sara explains that opportunities can happen and it can turn out better than we expect.

Check out Sara here!
