In this week's conversation, my wife Amy and I sit down to discuss what was an extraordinary year. We hope that our story might  help other parents and teachers process theirs.We reflect on the joys of the year-- our neighbourhood coming back to life, sharing laughter around the dinner table and becoming a reading family-- as well as the challenges-- wrestling with our own privilege, trying to support our sons in French Immersion, and watching so many of our friends leave the city. Amy helps me remember that we  must "sit" in both the joy and the grief. That is how we have the most complete human experience. I was so glad that we could process our year together in this way.Amy is not on any social media but feel free to let us know what insights the episode offered you by reaching out on twitter @podcastforheart-------------------------------------NEW EPISODES EVERY OTHER WEEK!
