"Anything that we want to do and grow starts from tons of compassion, acceptance, understanding, and love."
Am I a good enough parent? What does it even mean to be a good parent in the first place? Can mindfulness help me get out of the place where I'm constantly comparing myself to the other parents on the playground? In this episode, Jess and Jon solicit the help of mindful mother Cara Lai. Later, Cara leads a meditation on focusing on the good stuff present in every moment.
