Parenting: Powerful or Weak?
During the early days of research for Hart & Hero was but a distant pipe dream, I was a new mom with a toddler. My 2 year old was up all night with an endless ear infection. My newborn was miserable. My husband and I spent those months juggling ENT appointments and allergists and taking turns sleeping and rocking the baby, trying to figure out what was bothering her whilst determining how to handle our toddlers’s ear infections. Oh, and all the while work and daily life still has to happen.
At the same time, I was having conversations with other parents about why their sons don't have a doll stroller.

Parenting: Powerful or Weak?
Again and again, the word that kept coming up was Soft. They didn't want their boys to be soft, because soft was weak. It was an odd juxtaposition between society's fear and my reality. “Weak” was the last word we'd associate with parenting. With nurturing and caring for others. It needed grit and stamina and detective skills and strength and lots and lots of love and coffee. It needed Power.
Let's acknowledge the power in parenting.
