Parenting in the 21st century is like juggling flaming swords on a unicycle—challenging enough, but now toss in cultural bias, generational guilt, and the legendary *“What will people say?”* Sprinkle in some *“back in my day”* nostalgia, and you’ve got a recipe for chaos with a side of guilt trips.  

This episode dives headfirst into the messy, spicy, and often hilarious clash between tradition and progress. Is tough love *really* love? Are we raising kids or mini versions of our parents' expectations? Maryam Javaid isn’t holding back, and her insights might just have you rethinking your childhood—or calling your mom to say, “Fine, you were right.”

Maryam Javaid is a homeschooling mother of three, a certified Muslim parenting coach, and a history expert on a mission to help Black and Brown communities break oppressive cycles and embrace healthier parenting practices.
