And, most of them due to us being new parents, and not knowing what we're doing, and trying our best to know what we're doing, and to keep her safe and healthy.” - Lee Cormier “ As a dad, as a partner, your role is to be the best sidekick possible, and alleviate any type of pain and pressure and stress. Then, you can do the best job in the world.” - Lee Cormier “I think me, as a mom... it's brought out depths that I didn't know were there. And, I can be a lot more empathetic with a lot more people now. Like, other people who have had children, who have had losses, and things like that... I can understand what they're going through.” - Izabela Cormier Resources Mentioned: Lee Cormier Izabela Cormier Canal Street Church Erik Garcia, CFP® Dr. Matt Morris, LPC, LMFT Garcia Financial Group Matt Morris & Associates
