41. Interview with Laura
Today, I’m interviewing Laura. My favorite part of her story was how she overcame self-doubt about potty training her child too early. And even though society might have questioned her, she not only potty trained but also hit a high-pressure situation early on. Avoiding everyone else’s opinion is hard but doable.

Today we’ll go through some ways to foster that independence which will help with potty training yes… but also your whole life. We’ll also touch on sippy cups and pouches.
