How I Almost Quit the Podcast, Resented the Show, and What Made Me Come Back

A 10-Year Anniversary Interview with Anna Seewald, Hosted by Laura Froyen In this special 10-year anniversary interview, I sit down with my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Laura Froyen, to share the story behind the Authentic Parenting podcast. I open up about the times I almost quit the show, the moments I resented it, and what ultimately made me come back and keep going. We dive into the challenges, surprises, and lessons learned along the way, giving listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of the podcast over the past decade. This conversation is honest, reflective, and full of insights for anyone navigating the ups and downs of parenting, creative work, or long-term projects.
