An exploration into 3 of the most transformational relationships we can choose to have: With ourselves, our partners, and our children.
I'm Lucy, and I believe most relationship issues are not from lack of knowledge or trying, but from lack of models for what REAL, healthy relationships actually look and feel like: the good, bad, and the ugly.
I'm here to share real stories from real people who illuminate what genuine & meaningful relationships look like in a space where Love and Learning converge.

20. The Art of Work-Family ENRICHMENT with Yael Schonbrun
Yael and I delve into the intricacies of work-life enrichment, drawing from her book "Work, Parent, Thrive." She shares how to juggle act of various life roles in a way that enhances each other, how to clarify and leverage Values when making difficult decisions, and how working parents can go from overwhelmed to enlivened. Additionally, we introduce acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for achieving psychological flexibility and how to use it in practice in everyday life.

19. 5 Things I Wish All New Parents Knew (Newborn Phase)
Today's episode is for new parents and parents-to-be. I share 5 things I wish everyone knew about new parenting, especially during the rollercoaster newborn phase.
(CORRECTION in the episode: I meant to say I cook "1-2 times per WEEK," not per day.)
Covering:
1. Best way to consume/evaluate parenting advice. Get out of Checkbox Thinking.
2. What causes 80% of all our problems.
3. The myth of parental intuition and what it really is instead.
4. What to do instead of 50-50 with your co-parent.
5. What's Parental Amnesia & how it impacts self-confidence (but it doesn't have to).
All opinions are, of course, my own! If you disagree, cool, remember Point #1.
