In today's episode, we naturally discuss the status of the 75Hard Challenge and note that its conclusion is gradually nearing. As always, we delve into our daily lives, focusing today on the staggering costs of childcare and debating whether it's more sensible to continue working or to simply stay at home. Additionally, we finally explore the concepts of fixed and growth mindsets, discussing their application in daily life and in parenting. To conclude, we pose the question: What exactly is the role of a parent?

In this episode, Mars and Julius talk as usual about the status of their 75Hard Challenge, but also about the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult to make or maintain new friendships as you get older with a family. For men in particular, the question is always whether they are my drinking buddies or people with whom I have more in common. There is talk about listener feedback regarding the mom mob and how to remain stable when it comes to raising your children, despite the many outside influences.
