355: Facing Adversity and Not Giving Up

Welcome, Impactful Parents.

It's time for the Impactful Parenting Podcast, where I give you parenting tips and resources to make you a more impactful parent to your school-aged child.

I am your host, Christina Campos.

Have you ever caught yourself staring into the mirror during a chaotic week of school drop-off, soccer practice, and endless dinner prep and wondered, where did I go? Who was I before everyone needed me to be everything? while you're not alone.

Hello, my name is Christina Campos, and I'm founder of The Impactful Parent.

I help parents of school-age children who want to be one step ahead of their kids to turn their chaos into connection with their adolescent.

I'm a mom of four, a teacher that's taught every grade from preschool through high school, and today I help moms and dads like yourself to navigate that exhausting, confusing, frustrating, but rewarding world of parenting.

So welcome to The Impactful Parent.

So joining us today is author Maya Fort Marshall.

Facing a dual storm of a messy divorce and a terrifying cancer diagnosis, Maya found herself forced to confront life's hardest moments while still showing up every day for her family.

And in her debut

memoir, Before You Were Everything, it's raw, it's funny, and it's completely moving reminder that even when your world gets completely rewritten, it is still possible to rediscover your voice, your strength, and yourself.

So whether you're currently navigating a major life plot twist or simply trying to hold on to your identity and miss the total chaos of that daily grind, this episode will be for you.

It's going to have honest wisdom that you're not going to want to miss.

So thank you and welcome to the stage, Maya.

Thank you for having me.
