Enjoy this week's conversation. Welcome back to the Intentional Parents podcast.

Today we're going to respond to your questions. Thank you for sending them in. And reminder to everybody, we're doing this new thing, which many have done, but I just think it's a fun way to interact. So many of you sending questions in written form, and that's great. But we are also wanting to say we're opening the world to voice memos. So here's what you do. You simply just take your phone, record a one- minute voice memo with your name, where you're from. Those two things are important. And then a one minute because longer than that's hard to listen to or hard to, you know, helps us all be concise. A one minute voice memo of your question. It can be shorter, obviously, but try to make it a minute. But we'd love to interact with you in this way. And what's fun is we've gotten some questions recently in that format. And so here's what

you're going to hear. In a couple minutes, we're going to respond to some questions, but you're going to hear the question come on live. And then we're going to respond to it in real time. And it's kind of like you're even here in the room, which is exciting. Elizabeth. Can I ask a question?

I raise my hand.

Yeah, you just raised your hand.

I was like, you're an adult.

What if somebody wants to send in a voice memo question, but they don't want to say their name or where they live? Some people want to keep their questions a little more anonymous because other people might listen. Can they do that? Oh, sure. Can they still send a voice memo if they don't want to save their name and location. I mean, if it's a sensitive topic, sure. Yeah. I think use discernment. There's no rules around this. All right. Good point. I'm just thinking that will deter some people. You're like rules are so important. You're like, okay, we have to these categories. That's okay. I would just say, if you'd like to send a voice

memo in, go ahead. And if you would like to write one, that's fine too. But this is a fun way to interact. So I want to say that.
