Episode 106 - Solo Parenting, Showcases, & Not Giving Up

About this episode

Mick and Ashley discuss their experiences with solo parenting, the challenges they face, and the importance of support from family and friends.

Watch the full episode here! Been doing a lot of solo parenting lately on both of our ends. Of course there are challenges, but we've gotten more and more confident along the way and have tried to shift our perspective. We feel so lucky that both Mick and Ashley will eventually come back from whatever work they're doing, and that we have an amazing tribe of family and friends who can help us out when we need it. One of the reasons Mick solo parented a lot over the last few weeks was for Ashley to teach her acting classes over the weekends! We go over the advice that Mick wished he could've heard during his senior showcase in college (or maybe he did hear it and didn't listen?! LOL) and the wisdom Ashley tried to impart on her kids before heading into their showcases. This felt like an old school Mick and Ashley Mismo episode. :) Enjoy! x a&m
