If a parenting practice can help carry you through the unimaginable, imagine what it can do in the everyday.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the past three years of our family’s medical journey following the birth of our third son and share the simple parenting practice that became a lifeline as I watched him fight to survive in the NICU. It helped me practice self compassion, care for my own mental health, and continue showing up for my children even when I felt like I was falling apart. My hope is that you leave this episode with a little inspiration, a new perspective, and a practical tool you can use during the hard moments in your own family.
