Raising Them to Leave Us: Parenting, Perspective & Purpose
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Herm’s House, Kristin and Herm get real about one of the toughest parts of parenting: raising strong, confident kids who won’t always need you — even though you’ll forever need them. They unpack how childhood experiences shape adult behaviors, why every family defines “right” and “wrong” differently, and how intention matters more than perfection.
They also reflect on their recent SSG Kasson's Veteran's Day Four-Day March and the emotional shift it caused in how they view the unhoused community, service, and compassion. From the heavy stuff to the hilarious everyday parenting moments, the conversation stays honest, heartfelt, and full of the real-life perspective listeners love.
Whether you’re navigating boundaries, breaking generational habits, or learning to let go just a little — this episode brings comfort, clarity, and community.
