Episode notes
Biz and Theresa wonder if everyone deserves a trophy or if the cut-and-dry world of “1st, 2nd and 3rd Place” make us stronger. Maybe just the act of having to explain winning and losing to our kids makes us strong enough. Plus, Biz takes it offline, Theresa runs away to the woods, and we get some help from Theresa’s mom, Marriage Family Therapist Beth Hossfeld, on how to go on parenting when we’re scared or dealing with crisis.
