About this episode
Back-to-school season is here, and parents everywhere are experiencing the same mix of excitement, guilt, and anxiety. Chris Williams and Mackenzie Eddie have an honest conversation about sending their kids back to school, the emotional challenge of watching children grow up, and the very real feeling of being ready for a break after spending the entire summer together.
They discuss the anxiety some kids experience before returning to school, the challenge of balancing work and family life during summer break, and why parents shouldn't feel guilty about needing time away from their children. Chris and Mackenzie also talk about the new books CW has picked up, 2-Pac, and everything in between.
