Episode 26 -

We could not be more excited than to welcome New York Times Best Selling Author Jessica Lahey on the podcast. Jessica has articles written in The Atlantic and the New York Times, and we have her on the podcast to discuss her New York Times best selling book The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed. We had the joy of seeing her at AMLE in Nashville this past November and knew we had to ask her to come on the podcast. We hope you enjoy this great discussion on our love for middle schoolers, the importance of giving children of any age autonomy and intrinsic motivation to succeed.
