Today's guest is my long-time friend, Cindy Kao. Over the years, our roads have wound and crossed and ran alongside one another through various states and stages of life. Now we have the unique experience of raising our children in the same town having known each other since we were children ourselves.
In this episode, we chat about raising kids as second generation Americans, our respect for our mothers, the traditional Chinese postpartum practice of confinement and the evolution of personal growth and spirituality. Who knew that recording a podcast episode was just what two working moms with young children needed to catch up?
