Show Notes

Being a parent is an impossible task. Doesn’t it feel sometimes that no matter what you do you can’t win?

As parents, more than anything in the world we want to do what is best for our children. And yet, we constantly doubt ourselves, our abilities, and our decisions.

I wish there was an easy way to solve this problem, but I haven’t found one yet.

Tune in to learn the solution I have found so far.

Today’s page of the Breverie Handbook is really about reminding all of you parents out there that you are doing amazing. And that you are not alone.
