What does parenting with composure look like when you have a 9-second commute from your office to your kids?
This is the question at the heart of this episode. Kate Purmal is joined by special guest Laurie McGinley in the latest installment of our “brain hack” series. Kate takes Laurie through a live coaching session, helping her find balance between two versions of herself:
- Tea Kettle Laurie, who is stressed and anxious (but you better bet she gets the kids to school on time)
- Wood Turning Laurie, who is calm and joyous (but maybe sometimes needs a little help with logistics)
Kate and Laurie go in some unexpected directions on this journey, somehow tying together winter bundling, morning wood turning, and airplane taxiing — it's a ride you won't want to miss.
This episodes provides clarity on:
- How to maintain high-quality parenting during moments of stress and misalignment
- Why all parenting conflict is ultimately about control
- How to turn stressful moments into joyous ones
