And that's something we talk about a lot here on No Guilt Mom about letting our kids have free rein and life skills. And I mentioned that for the first time in a very, very long time. I was alone in the house last night. And I got to like experience what that felt like. And I mean, how many times are you alone in your house? Like with no one there? B Brie Tucker 01:26 Okay, well, that's kind of a loaded question. Because remember, I'm divorced. J JoAnn Crohn 01:29 Yeah. B Brie Tucker 01:30 So every other week, I don't have my kids. Now, recently, my boyfriend moved in, like over the summer, so almost never. like, almost never now. But before that I had years where I had a whole week of that house to myself. And I will admit, like I'm a very, very big extrovert. We talk about that. Like I love being around people. But I'm starting to miss that alone time a little bit once in a while now. J JoAnn Crohn 01:55 Yeah, I forgot how nice it is to be alone. Because I'm a very big introvert. And sometimes, like, I'm such an introvert that I'm like, everyone just stop talking. Just stop talking. Just stop talking. B Brie Tucker 02:05 Yeah. J JoAnn Crohn 02:06 and that's kind of how my brain works. But to be alone, and it was like, like this whole feeling you suddenly remember exactly what it's like before you had kids? And what kind of person you are. Brie Tucker 02:19 Transcripts for Ep. 82- The Life Skills Your PKaidgse N3e oefd 2 B5efor... Transcribed by https://otter.ai B Brie Tucker 02:19 Right. J JoAnn Crohn 02:21 Yeah, so it's interesting.

Welcome to the note bond podcast, Amy! I'm so excited to have you here because this is like a reconnection of sorts. like we met six years ago in person. And now it's like we get to reconnect on the podcast. So welcome, welcome. A Amy Carney 04:05 Oh, thank you so much for having me. J JoAnn Crohn 04:07 So for those of our audience who don't know about you, can you tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do? Transcripts for Ep. 82- The Life Skills Your PKaidgse N4e oefd 2 B5efor... Transcribed by https://otter.ai A Amy Carney 04:13 Oh my gosh, well, I am a content creator. First and foremost, I wrote the book Parent on Purpose. And that stems from a crazy trip that we took around the United States six years ago in an RV as a family and what I learned about that process, and so I am a mom of six I was a mom of five up until a few months ago we are adopting out of the foster care system again. So I have 19 year old triplet sons who we so we have launched to three different states and a daughter who's a senior in high school right now and then Sunway adopted out of the foster care system is 14 and then like I said, we have a new little guy we're adopt in the process of adopting so very busy mama right now in elementary school, middle and high school, but I just love writing about intentional parenting. And I'm just excited to be here talking to you guys about it today. So. B Brie Tucker 05:06 Man! There is not a moment in your household is there? A Amy Carney 05:10 Oh, no, I guess I don't roll that way. B Brie Tucker 05:14 Well, and the other thing too, is like I was telling you, JoAnn, and when I read your story about the RV, and how you guys were like, you know what, let's just do this. And I feel like that's a dream and a nightmare-today- with with the pandemic, right? I think some of us are like, I just want to hit the road and get out of my house because I've been in it for a year. And on the other hand, being in a motorhome locked up with like, three teenagers kind of scares the crap out of me. J JoAnn Crohn 05:38 Well, it's so interesting, because I feel like I think a disproportionately amount of my friends have done the RV thing just because like I'm in the blogger. Blogger space, and the thing that you know, people have been doing, oh, what, six years ago, you were like the trendsetter of doing the whole RV. A Amy Carney 05:53 Totally, totally. And it didn't stem from a good place necessarily. We were really Transcripts for Ep. 82- The Life Skills Your PKaidgse N5e oefd 2 B5efor... Transcribed by https://otter.ai disconnected as a family. And we just got to this place where we knew we had to make major change. Or I was going to get to this point in my life now and have so much regret, because we were just racing around and it kind of missing all the important moments. And so we we just pulled out everything, my husband quit his job. And we did the seven month trip to kind of regroup and reconnect our family and figure out what we wanted out of the season before launching the kids so. J JoAnn Crohn 06:21 okay, this whole RV trip, what was like, the first like thought that you're like, we should pile everyone in RV? B Brie Tucker 06:28 Yeah.
