Well, are we doing this right? Amber sits down with the author of "Am I Doing This Right?: The Philosophical Guide to Life in the Age of Overwhelm" to discuss Colleen's philosophies in her book, as well as things like cancel culture, hoarding husbands, and taking the bull by the horns and doing things that might make you feel uncomfortable but feed your soul. Also, sometimes the internet is a trash heap and sometimes it's not because it brings people together like Amber and Colleen!

Amber interviews her first non-parent, Janessa Mast, who has a very compelling story about her overcoming a difficult upbringing. When she was 13, her father was convicted of money laundering and fraud and passed away right before serving his prison term.

Janessa also coaches teenage girls and gives us tremendous insight on how we can show up for our kids and be better parents.
