Description

Ever feel like you're drowning in a sea of unsolicited advice, or that Google has become your go-to parenting guru? You're not alone. We millennial moms are navigating a world that's vastly different from our own parents'.

On today's episode I get real about the pressures we face – from climbing the career ladder to living up to the Instagram image of an always-engaged parent. Not to mention playtime expectations! 

And I reveal the greatest currency we have to share as mamas. 

In this episode, we cover: 

• The struggle to balance work and parenting, while also dealing with societal expectations to be deeply involved in children's playtime. 
• The generation shift of parenting styles from hands-off to perfect playmate. 
• The importance of uncovering your values to find a parenting approach that aligns with your true self and promotes the goals you have for your children.
• What we're doing differently to raise kind, loving humans.
