The Best Parenting Advice I Ever Received
As everyone clapped, I looked at the schedule. Up next was Lianne Raymond’s talk “Love with Wild Abandon”. I silently groaned a bit inside. I think I might have even thrown a tiny eye roll. As a jet-lagged introvert in a room full of mostly extroverts, I wasn’t feeling too loving at the moment and I didn’t have any clue what loving with wild abandon could possibly mean.
