Beskrivelse

Parenting is hard, period. But when you grew up in a home that didn’t feel safe, stable, or emotionally supportive? That adds a whole other layer. In this episode, we’re digging into what it looks like to parent when you’re still healing from your own childhood. We’re talking about the guilt, the pressure to “do better,” and how sometimes, we still get it wrong even when we’re trying so hard to get it right. In this episode, Carolanne and Kelly get honest about the power of apologizing to your kids, showing them what accountability looks like, and creating a space where love is always the bottom line - even on the hard days. Because being real with your kids doesn’t make you weak. It makes you trustworthy. This is an episode for every parent who’s trying to rewrite the script. For every parent who’s trying to show up for their kids in a way they never had growing up. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that being a “good” parent doesn’t mean being perfect. It means loving your kids enough to keep trying.

#3 : Navigating Adult Friendships : Turn your FOMO into JOMO

Let’s be real...adult female friendships can be tough. Between busy schedules, group chats you’re not included in, and that occasional sting of being left out, it’s easy to spiral into full-blown FOMO. But in this episode, we’re flipping the script. We’re talking about turning fear of missing out into the joy of missing out and learning to love our own company without feeling less-than. We dive into what it really means to set boundaries in friendships that feel one-sided or toxic, and how to stop chasing relationships that drain your energy. Because here’s the thing: choosing peace over people-pleasing is a form of self-love. And when you let go of what’s not serving you, you create space for the kind of friendships that do: the ones that feel easy, honest, and life-giving. So if you’ve ever felt left out, questioned your worth in a friend group, or wondered if you’re just “too sensitive," this one’s for you.
