Parenting Under Pressure: Finding Strength in Multicultural and Generational Advice

Building Your Parenting Village: The Power of Creating Community That Truly Supports Your Family

Raising kids takes a village, but finding—or creating—that village can be daunting. I sit down with Pastor Brandon to discuss the importance of community in parenting, the challenges families face when building connections, and the beauty of finding the right fit. From inviting others into your circle to asking for help and setting boundaries, this episode is packed with wisdom on fostering meaningful, supportive relationships for you and your family.

Parenting Under Pressure: Finding Strength in Multicultural and Generational Advice

Parenting comes with its challenges, but raising kids under the weight of multicultural, multigenerational, and societal expectations can feel overwhelming. In this heartfelt conversation, Mia and I open up about the pressures we've faced, how we've pushed back or embraced family advice, and how to recognize the love behind it. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on navigating family dynamics and even finding beauty in the wisdom passed down.

The Stories We Tell Ourselves

Parenting is full of stories—the ones we live and the ones we create in our minds. In The Stories We Tell Ourselves, my friend Kelli and I dive into the imagined narratives that often creep into our thoughts—how other parents seem more capable, or how we’re somehow falling short. Together, we unpack our insecurities, the unhealthy comparisons, and the silent, unrealistic standards so many of us hold ourselves to. This conversation isn’t just about parenting; it’s about letting go of impossible expectations and finding compassion for ourselves. Through honest, raw, and vulnerable dialogue, we’re here to remind you that you’re not alone in the stories you tell yourself. By challenging these narratives and reshaping our inner dialogue, we can create a more positive, compassionate story for ourselves and our families.

Screen Time & Sanity: Real Talk for Real Parents

Join us on Screen Time & Sanity, where two parents dig into the real conversations behind kids and screens. We challenge the guilt and pressure social media throws at parents, exploring different perspectives on what "healthy" screen time can look like for each unique family. This isn’t about rules or “right” answers—it’s about breaking out of the social norm box, sparking ideas, and finding the approach that makes sense for your family and values.
