People often ask me one question as a solo mom raising a son:

"Who's going to teach him how to be a man?"

But I think we're asking the wrong question.

In this episode, I'm sharing why I'm far less concerned about raising a "real man" and much more focused on raising a respectful, emotionally intelligent human being.

We talk about:

  • Why respect matters more than traditional ideas of masculinity
  • What boys really need to learn about women
  • Why character isn't determined by whether a child has a father in the home
  • The values I'm intentionally teaching both my son and my daughter
  • Why we need to rethink the conversations we're having about modern families

Whether you're raising boys, girls, parenting with a partner, parenting solo, or simply interested in the future of modern families, this episode is an invitation to look beyond outdated assumptions and ask better questions.

If this conversation made you think differently, send it to another woman who needs to hear it. And if you're building a family (or simply building a life) on your own terms, make sure you're following the podcast because we've got a lot more conversations like this coming!
