If you've ever worried that you've messed up your relationship with your kids — whether it happened this morning or years ago — this episode is going to bring you a lot of comfort.

This week's guest is Wendy Snyder, founder of Fresh Start Family and author of the brand new book Fresh Start Your Family, and she is living proof that it is never too late to start fresh.Wendy shares some of her own biggest parenting mistakes in this episode with a vulnerability that I find so rare and so refreshing — and the hope she offers on the other side of those mistakes is something every mom needs to hear.

💜 The reason Wendy's 84-year-old father begged her not to write this book — and what he texted her when he finally read it

💜 What Wendy's four-year-old said to her after one of her worst parenting moments

💜 Why the parenting patterns you inherited aren't your fault — and how to update your system

It is never too late for a fresh start. I hope this episode feels like hope.
