Listen "Looking Back & Leaping Ahead: Lessons Learned, Momentum Gained. Ep. 1 "
Episode Synopsis
After 13 years of leading weekly parenting groups, I, Cristina Young, am beyond ready to bring my favorite question to the mic: “How Are You Arriving?” These honest conversations go beyond small talk and into family dynamics, parenting, wellness, tough decisions, aging, and what it means to live authentically. If you’re craving real talk with heart, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the first episode of How Are You Arriving! This week we have Vicky Shusterman who is an attorney and a mother of two high school daughters. We talk about transitions, goals, marking progress, setting things up for the future, and reflecting on things in the past.
