Raising Kids While Raising Ourselves with Cat Tiu
Episode 85 - June 9th, 2022
“Here’s to strong women. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.”
This was the quote that inspired Cat (Carmelita Tiu) to start her podcast, Know Them, Be Them, Raise Them and community. Her content drew me in, so I invited her to join me for a conversation about raising kids and raising ourselves.
Also, raising kids is NOT just for parents.
With the messy stuff, kids often seek out the cool aunt, mom’s best friend or a teacher.
In this episode, we dig through the messy, uncertain parts of supporting kids to find some ways to work it out and to help listeners feel less alone in the thick of it.
