Episode Synopsis

I have 937,000 unread emails in my inbox. No, really.For some of you, that sounds like absolute chaos. But for me? It’s actually freedom. Because at some point, I realized Inbox Zero wasn’t for me. It stressed me out more than it helped.And here’s the thing—we do this with parenting too. We force ourselves to follow the “perfect system” because someone swears it’s the way. Gentle parenting, chore charts, meal prepping, screen time rules—but what if the system itself is what’s stressing you out?In this episode, we talk about:Why forcing a system that doesn’t fit can make parenting harder, not easierThe social media illusion of “perfect parenting” (and why 53% of parents feel pressure because of it)The real parenting strategy that actually works: Opting out when something isn’t serving youHow stress of trying to fit into someone else's definition of what's 'right' is contagious—and why your kids feel it firstA simple way to reset and find what actually works for YOUR familyIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the parenting “shoulds”—this episode is your permission slip to let that go.Referenced in This Episode:Episode about finding the tiny wins: Parenting Feels Like a Struggle?
