Episode 75: Ask Us Anything About Marriage, Parenting, Families of Origin & More!

Good Hard Story Podcast

You asked, we answered. And you know we never shy away from the messy, complex, and possibly even invasive questions because we want to be your living survival guides through it all. Bring it on, people!

This week’s episode of The GoodHard Story Podcast is a special “ask us anything” sesh with me and Jay all about how we’re navigating suffering alongside our nearest and dearest—kids, families of origins, friends that feel like family, and even each other. Sit down with us to hear some deeply personal (yet somehow universal) experiences, opinions, and bits of advice.

We’re sharing all kinds of thoughts about…

• Engaging kindly with family members who are waiting for you to be “healed”

• Feeling like a burden to your family and friends

• Raising kids who are frustrated by your family’s limitations

• Celebrating what we have now while acknowledging what we won’t get back

• The miraculous power of making new memories

• Shielding our kids from suffering

• Finding your “framily” in the places you probably don’t want to find them

• Deciding to have another baby after my stroke

If you need help believing your hardships could be a gift to the people you love most, this episode is for you.
