In two separate moments this week, the notion of old school vs new age parenting came up. One was a light-hearted social media post contrasting the styles, and the other was a conversation with a prospective client — let’s call her Jo.

Change may feel expensive, but we don't often consider the cost of staying the same

Looking for quick fixes to your problems? Sorry, you’ve come to the wrong place. Many times, people want their problems solved. They’re willing to listen to how it can be done. But they’re not necessarily willing to pay — whether that’s with their money, their time, their energy, or even their attention.

Our legacies are stories discussed in the future about our past which can only be made in the present
