In this episode, we recorded a conversation on the car ride home after our five-year-old’s very first day snowboarding. It was a day full of highs, lows, frustration, determination, and ultimately the proud moment of “I did it.” Together we reflect on the challenges he faced on the mountain, how he worked through them, and how we supported him as parents along the way. This episode is a real and honest look at what it means for children to struggle, persevere, and experience the powerful confidence that comes from overcoming something hard. Other thoughts during this conversation include barefoot running, earthing, rewilding, and essentially, what we want our family culture to include.
