If you mess up, you know, we know that in the parenting research, repair is really important.

And so, of course, no one is going to be a perfect parent 24-7. That's humanly impossible. But understanding that you have to turn inwards and give yourself the same care, attention, compassion, and parent yourself through the journey is really important.

Resilience and stress go hand in hand. When you think about what is resilience, the scientific definition is that it's your innate biological ability. So we all have it.
