In this heartfelt conversation, Brooke & Nadia explore the sometimes overwhelming experience of loving our children and worrying for their safety and well-being, and the weight and vulnerability this carries. They share experiences and discuss the importance of normalizing the need for connection and community support to help with these feelings, as well as empathy and understanding from others in supporting us as we go through experiences with our children. They talk about the possibility of fostering a sense of resilience and strength by becoming less isolated and more supported.
