Parenting on a Budget…or not 🥴

Ep. 9- Kids and Consequences

Consequences aren’t punishment — they’re lessons. In this episode of Parenting-ish, we’re talking about what happens when kids test limits and parents get tired. From natural consequences to guilty mom moments and those times we cave (we’ve all been there), let’s break down how consistency builds confidence — for both kids and parents.

Ep 8- Boundaries — For Kids and Adults

This one’s personal. In today’s Parenting-ish episode, I open up about what it really looks like to set boundaries with adults — friends, family, coworkers — and how that shifts relationships. We talk about people pleasing, recognizing when you’ve outgrown connections, and the guilt that comes with saying ‘no.’ And because parenting is always in the mix, I share how even small boundaries with kids — like sticking to bedtimes, cutting off snacks, or grabbing takeout when you swore you wouldn’t — matter too. Boundaries aren’t easy, but they’re necessary. Let’s talk about it.

Ep 7- Don’t Call This A Comeback!

Parenting-ish is BACK after a little unplanned break 🙃 Between moving, getting back to work and juggling 5 kids + chaos, life was life-ing. But here’s the thing: pauses happen. What matters is the comeback. Tune in to this short episode as I catch you up, keep it real about the mess, and remind you it’s okay to step back when you need to. 💛

Parenting on a Budget…or not 🥴

Raising kids isn’t cheap—groceries, field trips, sports fees, random spirit week shirts… it all adds up! In this episode of Parenting-ish, we’re getting real about parenting on a budget. From hacks that help (sometimes) to the guilt of saying no to extras, we’ll laugh, sigh, and remind each other that presence matters more than presents.
