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!
