It's 9pm on a weeknight. I'm sitting here with my husband, both of us basically bedtime-ready, and we thought it'd be fun to do a joint episode on the difference between newborn parenting and where we're at now with toddler parenting.

We get into the mental marathon of the newborn stage versus the different breed of chaos that comes with a toddler. 

My husband on realizing how selfish he didn't know he was before becoming a dad. 

And a whole tangent on perfectionism, all or nothing thinking, and why cutting a walk short on purpose taught him more than hitting his mileage goal ever did.

In this one:

• The real difference between mom and dad in the newborn stage versus now
• Why my husband spent months trying to rediscover himself outside of the gym, guitar, and video games
• The walking habit that changed how he thinks about everything
• Why perfectionism might just be an excuse to avoid doing the thing

If you've ever felt like you gave up all of yourself the second you became a parent, and you're still trying to figure out how to get some of it back, this one's for you.
