One day, your parents are driving you to practice, packing your lunch, and making sure you don’t burn down the house. Then suddenly, you’re the one driving to practice, packing lunches, and wondering when you became the adult in the room.

In this episode of Revenue Diaries, Shali Reed joins me for a candid conversation about the shift that happens when you go from being someone’s kid to being someone’s parent.

We talk about:
✅ The moment you realize your parents were never all-knowing—they were just doing their best.
✅ Anticipatory grief—what happens when you realize time is moving forward, and there’s no slowing it down.
✅ Blending cultures and traditions in parenting.
✅ The ongoing battle over Pop-Tarts in the Reed household.

This one got personal. Give it a listen.
