13:13:56 From Todd Adams to Sally (she/her)(Direct Message) : do you want to share your “7ness” with the group?

13:16:25 From Jennifer Rocco to Todd Adams(Direct Message) : sure

13:25:29 From Millie Hsi (she, her, hers) : Huge hugs to you Jen!!! Thank you for that incredible vulnerability!

13:26:02 From Sally (she/her) : Yes thank you so brave

13:27:46 From Jenn Kovacs : Lots of hugs. My dad had an affair. I found out when I was 17. I was mostly hurt that he felt like he couldn’t tell me and that I found out from someone else. It never made me feel like he wasn’t a good dad. He was and is the best. It was one chapter of our story, just like this is one of your many chapters. Your kids want you to be happy.

13:33:47 From Millie Hsi (she, her, hers) : I feel like I know you, Jen, and that’s only from a few years of Zen Parenting conferences and our occasional Zooms. And just from that limited amount of interactions, I know that you are an incredibly good and genuine person, with only the best intentions always. If I know that from limited contact, yours sons obviously know you so much better. I feel like you would still be the same person they’ve come to admire. If you were to share this with them, I feel like you would model to them that no one is perfect and you would also be modeling to them how to be, that owning up to your truth shows them that they can own up to their truths too! You are brave, my friend, and they will continue to learn from you.

13:57:06 From Jennifer Rocco : Thank you, Team Zen, for being a safe place for me to share. I appreciate this team more than I can adequately express. Sending lots of gratitude!
