Today is a really fun and fascinating episode. I'm chatting with my friend Kristen Kill about what it's like to raise 4 young kids in the middle of Manhattan. There are some crazy twists to seemingly simple things like grocery shopping, getting to church and when to let your kids be independent (in a city of 9 million).

We talk about this and more, including raising kids in a counter culture way and when and how to teach independence - no matter where you live.

And I have a fun family night activity that you don't want to miss. Grab some headphones and join us!

I also want to note that I mention an e-conference with Sally Clarkson in the podcast. That has been postponed for a couple weeks. I'll keep you updated, though, and let you know the new date as soon as possible.
