If life has felt heavy lately—like you're juggling way too much and still feeling like you're somehow not doing enough—this episode is the gentle reminder you didn’t know you needed. In today’s conversation, we’re talking about the realweight modern parents carry, the unrealistic expectations placed on us, and how to soften the inner critic that tells us we're failing when we're actually doing something amazing. I’m sharing stories from my own life—parenting without screens, running a business, navigating chosen stress—and how shifting my mindset (and practicing radical self-compassion) has helped me stay grounded, even in the chaos. This one’s for anyone who needs to hear: you are doing an incredible job, even if it’s imperfect.
