Parenting with Former Therapist, Linda Wiebe
4/24/2024
I recorded this interview with former therapist Linda Wiebe, in the fall of 2019.
Today, I am replaying this interview in her memory. While the audio in this episode isn't great, the information that Linda shares is excellent. In fact, I started implementing what I learned from our interview on the day I interviewed her.
Linda's guidance and suggestions have significantly impacted my parenting and life, and I think this interview will likely help you, too.
When I released this episode, this podcast was relatively new and I was still learning how to interview and trying to figure out all of the technology that went along with releasing a podcast interview. Linda graciously agreed to be one of my first guests.
I hope you enjoy this interview and take away as many lessons as I did.
