Have you ever found yourself in a parenting predicament that's both comical and a smidge terrifying? We've all been there, and today, I'm inviting you to chuckle and cringe with us as we share tales of when our children stumbled upon things that definitely weren't meant for them—think edibles disguising as innocent candy. Plus, we'll dive into the curious case of our co-host Jackie's unusual immunity to online fandom's negative spotlight, and we're eager for you to join the conversation!

Navigating the delicate waltz of family life and personal dreams, we open up about how our own upbringing has shaped the parents we've become and how we juggle the joyous chaos of raising kids while chasing our own goals. We peel back the layers of co-parenting, the sacrifices we've made for our passions, and the powerful influence these dynamics have on our children's futures. It's a candid look at the real dance of parenting—a mix of missteps, grace, and everything in between.

Wrapping up, we get real about mental health, shaking loose the stigma and embracing our vulnerabilities. From the interwoven threads of faith to the pressures of projecting perfection in the age of social media, we delve into the importance of self-care and the strength found in open dialogue about our struggles, including postpartum depression and anxiety. We're passionate about fostering a community where honesty prevails, and we can support each other through the highs and lows of life and parenthood.

Thank you for being here, thank you for your time and energy. We hope that we can ALL build this incredible community for parents by parents with parents.
