We explore the pressure parents, especially moms, feel to maintain perfection, how older generations viewed a clean home, and why many modern parents are starting to choose connection, peace, and presence over constant control. This conversation is about childhood, emotional safety, generational expectations, and the realization that sometimes a lived-in home may be a sign of a family that feels safe enough to truly live in it._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Growing as parents through deep, real conversations to raise better kids.Sign up for our Raw Newsletter www.rawparentingpodcast.comStay Connected https://www.instagram.com/rawparentingpodcast/Welcome to the Raw Parenting Podcast with Tom and Malorie!

If Your Parents Divorced, Watch This Before You Hurt Your Kids Too

We talk about the hidden effects children of divorce carry into adulthood like emotional disconnection, fear of conflict, anger, anxiety, people pleasing, and the struggle to feel fully present with their own kids. We also explore how unresolved childhood pain can unknowingly show up in parenting, relationships, and emotional reactions. Most importantly, we discuss how to heal, break generational cycles, and become the calm, loving, emotionally safe parent many of us never had growing up._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Growing as parents through deep, real conversations to raise better kids.Sign up for our Raw Newsletter www.rawparentingpodcast.comStay Connected https://www.instagram.com/rawparentingpodcast/Welcome to the Raw Parenting Podcast with Tom and Malorie!
