What is the goal of parenting? If you could magically snap your fingers and have a happy, healthy, emotionally well-adjusted 30-year-old, would you? Would you fast forward life, just to get the outcome you are hoping for? This is the question posed by today’s guest Jill Stoddard. Jill is director of The Center for Stress and Anxiety Management, an award-winning teacher, TEDx speaker, author, and co-host of the Psychologists Off the Clock podcast. In our conversation, we dive into the problem with the outcome-driven definition of success and how we can find successful moments in each day. *New!* Watch video clips from this episode on the Mindful Mama Youtube channel!
