Description

Married for 23 years, with 4 children, Kori Reed and Mike Becker are on a mission to “Reimagine family stereotypes so that all modern families can thrive.”   They are so committed to this mission that they wrote a book about it - Zag Zig Parenting: (Mis)Adventures of a Career-Driven Mom and a Stay-at-Home Dad   ZagZig Parenting invites you to explore a married couple’s contemporary perspective on parenting through comical vignettes that share their differences, struggles and mistakes.    Written by Kori, a career-driven mom of four children, with commentary from Mike, a twenty-year, at-home dad, this book shows work-life integration from a different lens, and creates a positive environment to reimagine the family framework.   These vulnerable stories about life as a non-traditional family aim to paint a picture of everyday chaos provide comic relief and permit parents to thrive as they embrace their perceived shortcomings in the context of work-family flow. Parenting issues don’t discriminate.    Listen in to hear Kori and Mike share:   How Mike and Kori both started defying traditional gender roles at the age of 16 How parents with two very different personality types can successfully find their parenting groove What family management looks like for a stay-at-home dad and career driven mom The power and purpose of therapy  How a Kori learned to juggle being a present parent and career focused mom What Mike loved about staying home with 4 kids over the course of 20 years Mike’s biggest parenting secret when it comes to minimizing overwhelm and chaos   Links Mentioned: Find Kori and Mike here: www.ZagZigParenting.com But the book here: Zag Zig Parenting on Amazon Sponsor: Aaptiv.com (use code SMA30 for a free 30 day trial)
