Summary
Angela Rye has accomplished so much in her career but she’s never had a family of her own. Thankfully, she has lots of friends to play auntie to, like her co-host Andrew Gillum! In this heartfelt episode, Angela quizzes Andrew about fatherhood.
We don’t talk about the realness of parenting enough. Parenting is hard, it requires sacrifice, and changes every aspect of your personal life. It’s also profoundly rewarding and transformative.
