Summary
What defines good parenting and how do you know if you’re doing it right? In the first ten years, we felt like we were exceeding expectations—an A+—even though it was physically and mentally exhausting. There were routines and the satisfaction of giving kids structure. Parenting changes as they get older. Now, it’s about sharing the role, letting them make their own decisions, and shifting into more of a coaching mindset. Parenting is the ultimate freight train ride.

| 0:24.4 | By parenting? |
| 0:25.7 | About two. |
| 0:27.5 | Everything we ever done was about two friends hanging out and telling the truth and, like, talking about topics of life that are relatable to women, mothers, wives, sisters, aunts, like just being a woman. |
| 0:38.8 | Sisters and a brother. That's what the mom. That's what the mom choose started as. That's what our |

| 0:48.7 | to the podcast studio, the two of us will sit upstairs and talk to each other for fucking four |
| 0:53.1 | hours. I know. |

| 0:58.0 | we have to stop ourselves. I, it's so weird because all you have is like in parenting. So you have |
| 1:04.8 | hindsight. So you have what you thought was hard, isn't hard because your new hard is harder than your old hard, |
