Have you ever had a parenting moment that you instantly regretted? Have you ever reacted in a way that reminded you of a side of your parents you didn’t want to imitate? We've all been there, and on today's show I have the most incredible conversation about this with Lisa-Jo Baker. Lisa-Jo Baker is a bestselling author, lapsed lawyer, current senior acquisitions editor for HarperCollins, and the author of<a href="https://amzn.to/3X3iaoX"> Never Unfriended</a>,<a href="https://amzn.to/3WHgIbl"> The Middle Matters</a> and<a href="https://amzn.to/3wurzLj"> Surprised by Motherhood</a>. With a BA in English/prelaw from Gordon College and a JD from the University of Notre Dame Law School, Lisa-Jo has lived and worked on three continents in the human rights field and subsequently spent nearly a decade leading the online community of women called (in)courage as their editor in chief and community manager. She’s also the co-host of the<a href="https://pod.link/1435936347"> Out of the Ordinary</a> podcast. Originally from South Africa, Lisa-Jo now lives just outside Washington, D.C., where she met and fell in love with her husband in the summer of ’96. Their story together spans decades, languages, countries, books, three very opinionated teenagers, and one dog.Lisa and I discuss breaking free from generational patterns and learning from the stories of our ancestors. You'll hear Lisa explain why understanding the origins of our behaviors are important and the process of forgiveness and reconciliation in family relationships. We jump into the parallels of growing up in South Africa and America and the need for truth-telling and justice. You are going to love this conversation and I want you all to run and pick up her latest book, It Wasn't Roaring It Was Weeping (order your copy in the show notes!)!Thanks for listening and sharing this episode with a friend!  SHOW LINKS:-<a href="https://amzn.to/3V1jJSS">Why Can’t I Get It Together </a>-<a href="http://www.jamieivey.com/bookclub">Jamie Ivey Book Club </a>-<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/huberman-lab/id1545953110">Huberman Podcast </a>-<a href="https://amzn.to/4bEI7iz">Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day</a><a href="https://amzn.to/3V3NQca">It Wasn’t Roaring It Was Weeping</a>
