Ever wondered about the intricacies of parenting? Is it possible to raise good humans while being successful in your career? My recent candid conversation with my guest, Jeremy Schreifels, musician, co-owner of Monumental Voice Media and a devoted father, seeks to explore these and other questions. We delve into the significance of a strong support system in parenting, examine how our childhood experiences shape our parenting styles, and discuss how education can give us the edge in becoming better parents. In this fascinating conversation, we also bring to light the choices of those who decide not to have children. Far from being selfish, as it is often construed, we argue that this decision can indeed be seen as intellectually responsible and compassionate. The conversation takes an interesting turn as we touch upon the responsibilities of being a spouse, which often mirrors parenting. We emphasize the importance of being emotionally and mentally available to our children, debunking the myth that people who choose not to have children are indifferent towards them. As we wrap up the episode with Jeremy, we highlight the significance of maintaining healthy relationships with adult children. We reiterate the importance of open communication, date nights, and intentional quality time with our children. The conversation also pivots around the crucial preparation required for when children leave the nest and why it's essential to have these conversations before they embark on their journey.
