This special episode is for parents and non parents (let's face it, we all know one) and tackles some of the burning questions that parenting puts forth, like why does parenting sometimes feel so damn hard ? Can we combine it with work and not feel we are failing at both? How can I connect better with my kids? What's the key to being the best parent I can within my possibilities? Tune in to hear Vera and Mercedes' take on this and join the conversation.

Special Episode: The one about parenting

Ever find yourself wondering: What is even the point?



Well.. there are apparently 152 thousand books on the subject of purpose. 94% of millenials say that they want to use their skills at work to serve a purpose, and YET....a study conducted by Harvard Business Review found that only 20% of harvard students had a strong sense of individual purpose.. 



Are we then in a purpose crisis? Why is this relevant?  Why is it that companies have started taking this seriously? How do I even approach this issue? 



Today, dear listeners as you go about doing whatever you do while you listen to us rambling, join us as we talk about something not so mundane: because this is the one about purpose..
