The following podcast is a dear media production.

Essentially, what we're doing in this episode is we're talking about moments when we responded or reacted in ways that we would not recommend as experts, but we did as mothers and we'll continue to do.

Yeah. Because for two reasons. One, we really believe in repair and we really believe in not being perfect. We live that, I think, quite beautifully.

Yes, we do. But sometimes it's nice to hear that in the presence of

having a lot of content knowledge you are still susceptible on a daily basis to just doing stupid
