Parenting through Life Seasons ft. Lonnie & Gionne Marts

Season 4 is all about the roles we operate in and bossing them out. Parenting is one of those areas that comes with tremendous joy, tons of challenges, and not a single owner's manual.

Nathalie Hawkins of To Teach Her Own joins the podcast this week to talk about how do-able it is to raise up these tiny humans to fulfill all the destiny inside of them. It's a challenge but we're up for the task. Oh and if you don't have kiddos of your own (yet) this episode is a life hack that is sure to give you insight into a future season (if you so desire it).
