She’s been in media outlets all over the U.S. championing the ‘free range kids’ movement, and I feel honored to have the opportunity to feature Lenore Skenazy on this episode of the podcast.

Lenore shares how she became the standard bearer for this idea of helping parents foster growth in their kids by allowing them to have independent experiences. We also talk about the nonprofit she co-founded called ‘Let Grow.’ Its goal is to make it easy, normal and legal to give kids the independence they need to grow into capable, confident and happy adults. 

Lenore obviously feels so passionate about this cause and I love how it comes through in this conversation. I was enlightened and felt empowered after our interview, and I know anyone who listens will be too.
