Summary

This week comedian Aida Rodriguez joins Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They love their kids, BUT…how are we expected to be stable, emotional pillars to our kids when we’re falling apart ourselves? (Tissue Warning!) Chris shares some bad news with the group about his mom’s recent cancer diagnosis and struggles with the duality of needing to be both a heartbroken son and a strong parent. And while there’s no easy answer during difficult times, especially when you’re a parent, he finds that exploring the vulnerability that comes from sadness with his daughter, is a wonderful and healing experience. Aida has raised two wonderful children through some tough circumstances. And now it’s their job to check on her the way she still checks in on her own mom to make sure she’s eating right and drinking enough water. Parents don’t have to shoulder the burden of being the “strong” one alone during difficult times, sometimes our kids are the ones that help pick us up when we’re down.
