    The Jenga Puzzle of Summer
    Jul 31 2024

    For kids, summer is a time of popsicles, swimming and sprinklers, summer camp and late nights. For parents, summer is the ultimate logistics puzzle of caregiving while continuing work and life responsibilities with a shifting, unpredictable schedule.

    In true "summer" fashion, Amy's summer went haywire. She's coming back after a short break with this episode to explain more about what to expect from our upcoming summer series.

  • In Praise of The Auntie Life

    In Praise of The Auntie Life
    Jun 26 2024
    We say "it takes a village" to be a caregiver, but we often don't give the praise to who actually makes up that group. As a mom, building a community that sees you in your many roles and helps lift the burdens is life-giving. Aunties - friends, blood relatives, it doesn't matter - are often the unsung heroes of making motherhood work. In this episode, Claire Gould - founder of GetClarified and the most intentional auntie we know - discusses how she has chosen the auntie life and the intentional choices that support her life and the lives of so many around her. This conversation is a treasure trove of insight, wisdom, laughs, and a bunch of resources to learn more about how we can build a collective community that lifts everyone up.

  • Guiding a New Generation of Leaders

    Guiding a New Generation of Leaders
    May 29 2024

    Where do we get the language for our goals and what we value? For most of us, defining our values was often billed as a team-building exercise, stuck in the middle of a corporate retreat. Today's guest argues that we need to have those leadership development conversations sooner, that they can be woven in the fabric of our discussions at home and in elementary school.

    As a certified master coach, Stacy Harris is passionate about helping anyone discover their values and purpose to make a lasting impact. As a mom and caregiver, she's exceptionally good at working with young adults to determine the values underlying behavior and coaching them to embody, explore, and uncover more about themselves in the process.
