Love this! My mom shaped me in many wonderful ways!

-Would love to find out what her boundaries were regarding humor: laughing vs firm lines of “hey, that’s not cool mister”

I have two extremely funny kids and I try not to shut down their humor because it’s so good and will serve them so well if practiced and honed—but there’s a fine line between silly/playful and disrespect. I’m curious if and how she intentionally navigated that?

-How did she decide “if it doesn’t work out, you can come home and live with me” would motivate you or cause you to give up when things got hard (which life inevitably is hard)?

-Did you have siblings? If yes, did she intentionally show up for each kid differently based on who they were and what motivated them? If not, did she intentionally put you in uncomfortable situations so you’d take brave steps instead of hide behind her?

Love what you do Andrew! Thanks!
