This week on Mommash, our guest Natalie Sopinsky -- lawyer, rescue worker, fundraiser and Zumba teacher -- discusses her unconventional parenting choices, why five kids feels like a small family, making the ordinary meaningful, raising strong kids (including her paratrooper son) by letting them fall, car rides as bonding experiences, declining Ritalin, and why you should pull your kids out of school more often. She shares her move from suburban Delaware to Susya in the Judean Hills, and her spiritual journey from minimal observance to religious Zionism. Lori and Haleh reflect on trusting your gut, leaning into weaknesses as strengths, and why Lori's broken boiler shows we need parents as sherpas for life.
