Portrait of Randi As a Young Mom (with Author & Podcaster Kimberly Samson)

Mastermind Parenting Podcast

Kimberly Samson is the author of F*Ck This, a candid and hilarious collection of essays about the journey through midlife. She’s also one of my oldest friends, who has witnessed a ton of my formative moments as a person and a parent. In this conversation, Kimby shares what motivated her to write a book about the midlife experience and what she’s learned by living through it. She also lifts the curtain on some of my best (and not so best) moments as a mom. It’s a whole new perspective how I’ve grown as a parent of a strong-willed child, and how my mishaps have given me the tools to help others.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The pivotal role my sensitive child played in my transformation as a mother, and my ambition to help keep other parents from repeating my missteps.
• Why it’s okay for parents to talk to each other about their children more than anything else.
• That unconditional love and basic human annoyance aren’t mutually exclusive.
• How amazing my friend Kimby is!

And much more!
