Can running an ultramarathon in 247 t-shirts prepare you for the craziness of parenting?
Today on the Powerful Parenting Journey, Stephanie has a fascinating guest, Tom Rauen. Tom's not just a dad to two boys, he's an entrepreneur extraordinaire (running a t-shirt company AND a brewery!), an ultramarathon runner, AND a former world-record-holding t-shirt wearer (yup, you read that right).
Join them for a real talk about parenting while juggling big dreams and even bigger adventures. Tom shares all the craziness of his multifaceted life and how it influences his parenting. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit – or have a partner who does – this conversation is for you. They go deep into how to manage your own needs and recharge, plus how to handle thorny dilemmas like screen time and technology as a family.
Want to know the secret for raising happy kids while still pursuing your own passions? Tom gets into how he and his wife tailor their parenting styles for each of their children, probably striking a chord for parents who deal with both introverts and extroverts under one roof.
It's a wild ride full of laughter, honesty, and some serious parenting wisdom – are you ready?
