In this episode of "Doing the Best We Can," I answer a question from a listener who is a new stay at home dad. I also draw out a really intense analogy between an underwater freediver and the challenges and pressures of parenting. We talk about vulnerability and community support, urging fellow stay-at-home parents, like our listener, to reach out to their own "rescue divers.” It’s an analogy filled week! --- -⁠LISTENER SURVEY! ⁠ -Advice questions? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠or at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-If you'd like to ⁠⁠sponsor Doing the Best We Can ⁠⁠(and why wouldn't you?),⁠⁠ fill this out!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Newsletter,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ please and thank you ⁠⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send feedback + have your project shared⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Old newsletters and podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Eddie's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠ --- --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/doing-the-best-we-can/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/doing-the-best-we-can/support Learn more about your ad choices.
