I had a fantastic week with my family in California and feel so grateful for them all. On the topic of family, I saw this TED Talk today and it left an impact on me. As someone who can’t wait to be a mother, I found this talk so insightful, powerful and inspiring.  Clinical psychologist Dr. Shepali Tsabary spoke so eloquently about the relationship between child and parent and how imperative it is.

I appreciate that my own parents did the best they could in the moment and rarely projected their expectations of themselves on us.
