Summary

While Nicole is out on maternity leave, Jason will be joined by several guest cohosts. In this episode, Jason’s cohost is his wife, Jennifer Miller! Jen is a parent and a writer— and she wants to know: why does she feel more validation from her work in the latter role versus the former? We all know parenting is the most important job there is… so, what gives? Jason and Jen analyze which micro and macro features have contributed to this imbalance, and find that the key to unlocking more validation is in the way we measure our accomplishments. Read Jen’s work here: https://www.byjennifermiller.com/ And hey, based on the topic of this episode, we’d be remiss not to mention: there’s no link we can direct you to to learn more about Jen’s parenting (because why would there be?), but can confirm, she rules!
