From toddler leashes in airports to co-sleeping realities, we’re unpacking the parenting stuff people whisper about and actually living it out loud. We swap stories on safety vs. stigma (leashes, helmets, crowds), how we really slept those first months (chest-sleeping, co-sleeping, why couches are a no), and why “cry it out” short-circuited our nervous systems. Natalie introduces “Jam Jam,” the surprisingly effective monster for boundary-setting (thanks, Hunt, Gather, Parent), and we talk Montessori at home—tiny humans doing real jobs, everything in its place, and routines that build flexibility later. We also get into intuition (wild Reiki visions, pregnancy gut checks), the invisible postpartum cliff at 16–18 months, and giving yourself permission to choose the easy, connected thing when it serves everyone best. Zero shame, lots of laughs, maximum honesty.
