Description

The idea of having kids while attending seminary and working full-time seemed impossible to Dru. He was “tapped.” And after four unplanned pregnancies in five years, he realized parenting was harder than feared. But for totally unexpected reasons. In this episode, we explore those unexpected parenthood anxieties with Liz’s former professor Dr. Dru Johnson, who admits, while his children certainly cause anxiety at times, his biggest parenting anxieties stem from an entirely different place: his own imperfections.
