It’s mom and son’s birthday week(!) and Sara’s celebrating by sharing 4 hard-won lessons from her first 4 years of parenting.

From the never-ending cycle of planning and preparation (yes, even Friday nights require a mental checklist) to learning she can handle way more than she ever thought possible, Sara gets real about what it's like to navigate parenthood — especially solo.

She talks about taking advice from everyone and then trusting yourself to do your own thing, embracing the mystery of what's to come, and finding strength in moments that test you.
