Life can be both rewarding and challenging at the same time. We often have what we believe to be a certain path for our lives and what we want for our families, but sometimes life throws us an unexpected curveball. We can feel overwhelmed, uncertain, and scared. We can feel lost in what our lives were meant to be and what our purpose is. Sometimes we just want to throw our arms up in the arm in complete frustration. But instead of doing that, what if you take this opportunity to get your bearings and find what you’re truly meant to do? And in the meantime, show your kids that we all can do scary things, and even the unexpected isn’t such a bad thing.In this podcast episode, we’re joined by Dave Hollis. Dave is an author, podcast host, and entrepreneur and helps small business owners as an integrator/consultant. He a busy dad to four kids ages 15, 14, 10, and 5, has been a foster parent many times over, and he just released a new children's book called Here's to Your Dreams!: A Teatime with Noah Book.We get candid about life and parenting and how sometimes, we’re so sure of what our life is meant to be; only to realize that we have a completely different journey awaiting us. And how when we share those experiences with our kids, how we can not only survive, but thrive throughout those unknowns- it can help build those skills in them to believe that we can do scary things.Resources We Shared:Happy Mom Summit A FREE online virtual event that brings you expert-led sessions, and a thriving community of like-minded moms ready to kick the guilt while raising respectful and responsible kids.
