Failing Forward | How to embrace failure and grow as a parent
Listen now
Description
Are you afraid of failing as a parent? Jess and Layne get real about their deep fears of public failure and share wisdom on why failing fast is a gift. We explore how being willing to fail is essential for building the lives we want, and why falling is a non-negotiable part of learning. Jess shares how feelings of failure during postpartum led her to create YouTube videos documenting her journey, and eventually this parenting community. We dive into celebrating failures alongside successes for better mental health, finding peace when others criticize you, and overcoming the fear that failing means you're a bad parent / person. Layne provides tips for reparenting your inner critic that emerges when you don't live up to your own expectations.
