Mental Health Check on the "Most Important" Thing
Ages ago, M Scott Peck (of The Road Less Traveled) studied success (personal and professional) and was surprised to discover that all the people in his study had one thing in common: they all report the exact same “most important” thing. As I sink into the reality of an empty nest, I felt the need to remind myself that it is not my children’s job (nor is it Edward’s) to make me happy. Hope you find it useful and worth sharing and of course, come visit me on Instagram @kellycorrigan to give feedback.

Mental Health Check on Go To Parenting Mantras
After I dropped Claire off at college, I snuck in some time with my freshman year college roommate, Tracy Tuttle. On a long walk, we tried to reduce all our parenting insights into 2 go-to mantras. Mine was about listening more and talking less (“visualize the transcript”) and Tracy’s was think in terms of what’s helpful and what’s unhelpful rather than what’s right and wrong. Hope it’s helpful. Share widely and visit me on Instagram @kellycorrigan to tell me what your mantra is.
