Today's episode is basically what happened when years of parenting, and one very persistent thought about "hard days" collided into what might be one of the most important perspective shifts I've ever had. Grab your favorite drink and let's dive into this game-changing conversation! 🌟

In this episode, I'm diving deep into:

• Why the most successful parents (and people) are actually the ones most willing to feel negative emotions (mind-blown yet?)
• The shocking revelation about why there's actually no such thing as a "hard day" (stick with me on this one!)
• My confession about writing my book and why it took THREE WHOLE YEARS (grammar is still not my bestie, y'all)
• A totally new way to think about challenges that will revolutionize your parenting journey

Real talk: I share some stories about my own journey, including that time I thought going to the store with one kid was THE HARDEST THING EVER (oh, sweet past Andee... just wait until you have six! 😂).

My absolute favorite nugget from this episode? "The most successful people are the ones who are most willing to feel negative emotions." Let that sink in for a minute. 🤯

Whether you're currently:

• Dealing with a Sharpie artist who decided your walls needed "updating"
• Wondering if your teenager's eye-rolling could qualify as an Olympic sport
• Just trying to figure out why adulting feels so... adult-y

This episode is your permission slip to see it all differently. Because maybe, just maybe, those "hard" days are actually just level-up opportunities in disguise!
