 NewKid #6 | It Is Enough Because We Care And We Try, with Sam & Simon
In this episode, Sam and Simon walk us through the 17 years of experience parenting their three children. Beyond the parents lies the couple. And there is a lot of wisdom to take from their journey.
Together, we talk about their evolving roles over the years, the pain of being successful, the masculine archetype, cherishing connection above anything else, making sure a child is being heard, expectations with regards to school and sports, the commitment to one another, embodying ourselves what we want to pass on to our children, the need to heal from our own trauma, to go through hard stuff together as a couple, the messy middle of navigating tech at home, and their own recipe for a good enough relationship to tech.
