Show Notes
What happens when the milestone life moments, also become your hardest?
This week, I sit down with Ash Wicks to unpack the raw reality of the early parenting years — sleep deprivation, mental health, feeling lost and the dark places parenthood can sometimes take us to.
We also chat building a business from ordinary family moments, finding joy in the simple things again and what it really takes to pull yourself out of survival mode.
