In today's solo episode, I discuss something I experienced after giving birth to my first child. I could not stop thinking about the fact that life isn't forever. Now that I had a baby and my life meant everything to me, I was faced with realizing that I will not live forever. 

I share a story about my grandfather and what he said on his deathbed and how this changed the way I was living. 

Perhaps there is someone out there that can relate to this. 81% of parents on Instagram said they experienced this as well!
