Kindred Conversations Paris Tews and Brittany Frye

Talking about a favorite quote from Alli Worthington’s “Remaining You While Raising Them.” In this episode we discuss how this quote shapes our view of parenting and motherhood. We talk about caring for ourselves in ways that feel fulfilling.

Today we’re chatting about finding the balance between fun and routine this summer. Our kids are out of school and we want to cherish this time… and stay sane!

This episode was inspired by a Tik Tok that Paris saw, explaining that asking favors of your friends feels like a radical act in our world of efficiency, Uber, and DoorDash. We talk about our general rules of thumb when asking for favors, what feels kind of annoying when asked a favor, and our general feelings of the vulnerability required to deepen any relationship.
