Season 10, Episode 10: Ask a Mentor Mom with Krista Gilbert
One of our all-time favorite guests and unofficial Mentor Mom of the C+C team, Krista Gilbert, is back to answer alllllll our questions about motherhood. A mom to four grown kids, Krista shares her best advice for marital disagreements (humility is underrated), tailoring parenting to kids’ individual needs (one-on-one time is key), and navigating the conversations we’d rather avoid (like, changing bodies and sex). From sibling relationships to responding to our kids’ choices, Krista graciously reminds us that it always starts with us and our modeling, but it doesn’t end there: our identity is not tied to our kids’ outcomes, and that may be the greatest encouragement of all.
