Susan and Melissa have the conversation that parents need: How do we lower the anxiety of while parenting in this modern world? Expectations are high for parents, and it seems like we are forced to make big decisions for our children every day. How do we manage this? They talk about the pressure, acknowledging it is hard, and also give some practical ways to help you manage the anxiety. One of the major themes that Susan brings up is the guilt/shame parents can feel when they ever consider taking care of themselves. Melissa also talks about that weight we can get crushed under when we wonder if we are doing enough to launch the young humans we are trusted with.
