I was honored to be invited to be the lovely Sarah Bagley's guest on her podcast series, which is about trying to get rid of perfectionism and embrace living a "B+" life.
How much do you love that concept???
We had a great time chatting about a variety of topics such as raising kids with sock issues, writing, my AMAZING readers, grief, and tons of inside scoop on Rare Bird! She was such a gracious host. I was a bit nervous and interrupt-y at first, not sure how this whole podcast thing worked, but Sarah made me feel so comfortable that we soon got our groove and didn't want it to end.
I hope you'll have a chance to check it out here!
Loved the podcast and for some reason it left me wanting to sit down with you and have a nice long chat over a cup of tea. I also had my kids before blogs, podcast, etc. and did not have the advantage of this wealth of knowledge at my fingertips whenever a parenting question came up. I came up with my own ideas of perfectionism a few years ago when I realized that the notion of perfect is completely subjective. My house will never be spotless. We will sometimes have chicken nuggets for dinner. Our kitchen table has paint stains from school projects. This is my perfect. The trick is to write your own rubric, then you can still get an A+ (I guess I can't let go of the A thing) BTW, what was the name of the other blogger mentioned in the podcast? I couldn't quite catch her name.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I hope we will be able to sit down over tea someday! Here is a link to Sarah Bagley's blog. I met her in person recently, and then we did our podcast over the phone. So fun! http://www.sarahrosemary.com/
