Today on the podcast we explore why and how we’re working to grow up alongside our kids. We examine the pressure-filled impostor syndrome of new parenthood, the power of the growth mindset, the weight of our egos, and ways to play in the gray with our our learning as well as our kids’. When we can respect our kids as equals, then we can move forward, hand in hand, growing together. When we can show vulnerability, resilience, awareness and humor in our mistakes and successes, they are given that permission, too. And when we can say “I’m not done yet”, then we can all feel brave enough to ask “what’s next?” We laugh, we cry, we lean in. Join us!

WE’RE NOT DONE YET- We may be grownups, but we aren’t done growing. We want our journey as parents to be about progress, not perfection, so we begin each day fresh with the acknowledgement that we have just as much growing up to do as our kids.
