Episode notes

Young sons have a fire within them. But how is that fire channeled and not extinguished? In this episode, Beth Bruno joins Chris for an insightful conversation about the reality of mothering sons. Beth generously shares her own experience of navigating the emotions and shifts during her son's teenage years. She unpacks the importance of mothers adopting a posture of space and delight with their sons. While risky and new, this offering of space must be paired with the intentional engagement of the father, so the son can continue to grow. This conversation is a wise invitation for both parents to partner together in the becoming process of their children.
