When my wife was 16, something happened that would change the course of the next 10 years of her life. This is part 1 of her story, where she shares what she went through and where we are now in our parenting journey. We share this vulnerability in hopes of helping those who still feel unheard and those who share the desire to raise emotionally healthy children.

After six cups of java, I jumped on a podcast with my amazing wife, and we dove deep into why parenting is never easy, why we sometimes pour from an empty cup, how struggles have made our marriage stronger, and what’s really causing parental burnout. I hope this encourages parents to see that being tired is, in fact, a badge of honor.
