In this episode, I sit down with my dad to talk about it all: what it was like raising kids while navigating an intense career, how he protected family time through the busy years, and what he hoped to teach each of his three daughters. We talk about why he never refers to himself as a “girl dad,” his single favorite thing about each of us, and how he and my mom kept their marriage a priority. He also shares why being a grandparent is "all of the fun things" with none of the burden and why he is in the best chapter yet!
