Raising children in America is difficult, so difficult that the US Surgeon General is raising concerns about the stress and mental health challenges of parenting.

We also discuss the Harris/Walz campaign hiring a National Faith Engagement Director, and we end with a discussion about how to be “very demure and very mindful.”
