These last 2 years have been a LOT. A lot for individuals, a lot for society, a lot for the world...so how do we make sense of all this as parents in creating the world we want for our kids?
Ashley and Karen start the first "Coffee Talk" episode discussing elements of transitioning into the next phase of life after two years of unprecedented crisis. A pandemic, racism, civil rights, truth and reconciliation, climate change, war in Ukraine... It's been a lot!
They talk about emerging from isolation, while reflecting on their experience with "fake white security" and ignorance, and discuss the opportunity in the role these unpredictable times have played in our lives. They end off discussing resilience, grit, actively re-thinking the future that we have a responsibility to help our kids build, and moving from division to connection through our common humanity.
