Today's guest has a new book out, The Toddler Survival Guide, that I know you'll love because it is practical, funny, and endearing.
And, as soon as I heard author Heather Spohr's voice on the day of our interview, I knew that it would also be those three things… But it turned out to be a lot more.
We talk about Princess Leia, potty training – and grief. Heather and her husband Mike lost a child to illness, when their daughter was just three years old, and what I love about Heather is her ability to share about the tough stuff while staying extremely positive.
So, listen for the laughs, listen for the connection, and read Heather's new book to remember that you are not alone, if you are (or have ever been) the parents of toddlers.
But also listen for Heather's description of the support that a strong community brings, whether real-world or virtual.
