We are thankful

In this season of Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for so much.

We’re grateful for you. As Preparing to Parent moves into its third year, we honor all of you—those who’ve walked with us from the beginning and those who’ve jumped on board along the way. Thanks for responding to our message and continuing to invest in the next generation.

We’re grateful for change. Life is constantly unfolding in new and exciting ways, and we’re glad to have a business that grows with us. Preparing to Parent has been evolving based on the needs of the women and men we serve. We look forward to sharing new opportunities in the works for 2019.

We’re grateful for like-minded friends and professionals. Lately, you’ve heard less from us because we’ve been cultivating more real-life connections. The synergy in the resulting conversations has been incredible.

In fact, we’d love to invite you into one of them.

We sat down recently with Kylene Terhune of The Tiny Fit Diva Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation she called “Women’s Health and Being Fully Human.” Yes, we discussed some of our favorite season-specific topics, like postpartum care. But we also delved into universal themes.

Tune in via audio or video and learn…

  • what happens when you combine a summer road trip, a broken ankle, and a sabbath year

  • how to find purpose in the less glamorous parts of our journeys 

  • practical ways women can prepare for a peaceful, empowering postpartum season

  • how postpartum care can be a metaphor for the care we all need as human beings

  • the power of stepping into every interaction with curiosity

  • why our work is so much more than a business

  • surprising sources of joy for us these days

  • what it means to embrace our full humanity

  • how pain and suffering can be the incubator for true healing and freedom

Then share with us. What resonated with you? What would you like to hear more about?

We’re grateful for each of you, and we’d love to serve you better. So let’s keep the dialogue going!

To genuine thanksgiving and the joy of being fully human, together we are “Preparing to Parent: Growing Families with Purpose…on Purpose.”
