Parenting typical teenagers is no easy feat.&nbsp;Today’s guest parented two as they skyrocketed to bewildering fame—and kept them astonishingly grounded in the process.Today we explore the uncommon reality that is&nbsp;Maggie Baird’s&nbsp;life.A veteran actor, improv performer, and writer with a long list of screen credits to her name, Maggie is also a long-time vegan, animal rights and environmental activist, and the founder of&nbsp;Support And Feed,&nbsp;a non-profit that partners with restaurants across America (and soon the world) to provide plant-based meals to those experiencing food insecurity.She’s also the coolest mom ever to two of the biggest musicians in the world—7x Grammy Award winning 19-year old&nbsp;Billie Eilish&nbsp;and Billie’s equally talented brother and counterpart, 8x Grammy winning 23-year old brother&nbsp;Finneas O’Connell—all portrayed alongside Maggie’s husband Patrick O’Connell in the recent Apple TV+ documentary&nbsp;The World’s A Little Blurry.Although Billie serves as the film’s primary protagonist, the documentary paints a technicolor family journey portrait. The story behind the story of this uniquely gifted foursome is both surprising and deeply heartwarming—a narrative exploration of parents striving to consciously guide their talented kids through their trepidatious and vertigo-inducing ascent to superstardom.It goes without saying that this is a conversation about parenting, how to raise conscious kids, and the many benefits of homeschooling and unschooling.It’s about what happens when your children become unbelievably famous at a young age, seemingly overnight.And it’s about organizing your life and your family’s priorities around what is most important.It’s also about the challenges of pursuing an artistic life. The importance of finding your cause. And it’s a dive into Maggie’s particular cause, which is to solve food insecurity and make the music industry, concerts, and touring, more ecologically sustainable.To read more <a href="https://www.richroll.com/podcast/maggie-baird-624/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">click here</a>.
