Listen "E08 The Worst Cup of Tea I Never Drank: Laundry Lessons for Real-Life Parenting"

Episode Synopsis

Parenting comes with plenty of surprises… like opening the washing machine to find a soggy tea bag spinning through the rinse cycle. In this episode, I share the story of “the worst cup of tea I never drank” - and the bigger parenting lessons it sparked.
Beyond the funny moment, we also dive into the real-life challenge of managing laundry. I’ll talk about the “one load a day” approach that helps keep overwhelm at bay, plus a little bit of the science behind why clothes (and machines) behave the way they do.
By the end, you’ll have both a smile and a few practical tools for keeping laundry under control - without it taking over your life. And yes, the serious parenting takeaway is this: don’t just check pockets for rocks… check the machine for tea bags, too.
