What if some of the most important moments in your family are the ones that don’t feel fun at all in the moment? In this episode, we explore the powerful idea of “Type 2 Fun” — experiences that are difficult while they’re happening but become deeply meaningful and memorable afterward — and how these moments help build antifragile kids who grow stronger through challenge rather than weaker from discomfort.

In this episode, Andie explores the lost art of building resiliency and gratitude in ourselves and our children through Type 2 Fun.
