Failing Forward | How to embrace failure and grow as a parent

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 UA-cam 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.

I think I just understood for the first time why I was never able to make myself practice anything... I would certainly fail

[@ClaireDaly151]

Love your podcasts!! I have a one-year-old son and like to listen to podcasts in the morning while he plays and I'm trying to get my brain to wake up, and your podcasts have popped up in my search results multiple times. After watching one of them I thought, "Yep - I will gladly watch this channel again!" Content is great, vibes are peaceful yet fun, and you and your guests seem like such welcoming, caring people. 😊

Started this episode and less than a minute in this girl on the right is dropping the F bomb- dear goodness, you don’t have to prove that you’re a tough mom. Wash your mouth out girl. We’re raising kids here, this isn’t Hollywood or high school

[@dididididididididdidi]

lol meanwhile she’s not even a mom
