Where Parents Talk: Evidence-based Expert Advice on Raising Kids Today

In this week's episode of the Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino speaks to Shari Leid, a life and friendship coach who shares her transformative journey from a successful law career to becoming an author and reinvention coach.

Drawing from her own experiences, including overcoming breast cancer and navigating motherhood, Leid emphasizes the importance of viewing obstacles as opportunities for growth. She advocates for parents to model resilience for their children by encouraging them to embrace their uniqueness and navigate their own paths without the pressure of external expectations.

Through her latest book, "Table for 51," Leid highlights the power of sharing meals as a way to foster connection and belonging within families and communities.
