In this episode, we’re in for a special treat as we sit down with Ann Faison—a mother of two adolescents, artist, author, teacher, wife, and so much more. Ann shares her powerful insights on parenting, particularly the intersection of grief and growth that comes with raising children through all stages.
Ann opens up about her personal journey and the lessons she's learned along the way, especially the importance of providing consistency and encouragement for her children. She speaks beautifully about the challenges of miscommunication in parenting and how it led to transformative change within her family. As they navigated these challenges, Ann and her family learned to understand each other on a deeper level and address the underlying needs and issues that arose.
Ultimately, Ann came to a profound understanding of what she could—and could not—control or fully comprehend in her role as a parent, and she shares how she learned to be okay with that. It’s a heartfelt conversation about the inner work of parenting, the importance of support for parents, and the resilience that comes with growth, both as individuals and as a family.
Tune in for a conversation filled with wisdom, vulnerability, and the reality that parenting, at its core, is a journey of learning and unlearning.
