Parenting Against the Grain: The Agile Approach with Bia Dimovski (Part 2)

In this episode, Kim Olver welcomes back author and Agile coach Bia Dimovski in a powerful continuation of last week's conversation to explore how she applies professional Agile principles to parenting in an intentional, iterative way. In Agile Parenting, Bia shares how her decade-long struggle with infertility shaped her reverence for parenting—and how that perspective led her to reject mainstream trends in favor of meaningful connection, structure, and flexibility with her daughter.

Together, Kim and Bia unpack:

• Why Agile methodology isn’t just for software teams—it can be a powerful framework for raising children
• How to parent "against the grain" with confidence, even when it goes against public opinion
• The critical role of parent-to-parent communities in supporting intentional parenting
• Practical ways to limit technology use early—and why it matters
• The importance of modeling emotional intelligence, accountability, and collaboration for kids

This episode is a must-listen for parents craving deeper relationships with their children and the courage to raise them with purpose in today’s chaotic world.
