Join Jen with Weirdo Weddings Photography as we navigate life as a parent, a business owner and super fun tattoo stories!

Today we have Mark Addington from Mark Addington events with the gap of a 19 year old and 2 small children we discuss what life was like as both a single parent household and a newer partner-marriage based household. Plus along the way we discover how opening the doors of past traumas actually both add to our parenting thoughts, fears, dreams and more as we walk on this journey!

Thanks for joining me on these fun conversations and journeys!

Join Jen today for a solo story about what happened today when she did what seemed like a "normal" routine scenario in every day life, but when her car wouldn't start in the nearby parking lot, she reached out to an auto shop that saved her day. In this episode, I gently recount the story of extreme heat, thankfulness and how a million solutions run through your head when you have been through these types of scenarios before!
