## Resource

What does it mean to prepare our children for a future we can’t predict? In this episode, we reflect on homeschooling, parenting, adult children, and the tender reality of endings. We talk about why “success” may be the wrong measure for family life, how love becomes the truest through-line, and why our kids’ adult reflections deserve to be heard without defensiveness. From changing job markets and AI uncertainty to theater outings, cancer treatment, and raisin bread metaphors, we explore how to keep relationship at the center. Join us as we make room for love, complexity, feedback, and joy. Resources: Find our favorite readalouds and nonfiction in the Brave Writer Book Shop Brave Writer class registration is open!
