Summary
Ep513. Renee is joined again by her pod-pal bestie Ariana Christie for an honest convo about parenting through big feelings, behavioral challenges, and the pressure to keep it all together—especially when the world expects our kids to always appear “happy and well-adjusted.” Ariana shares her experience raising twins with totally different temperaments, what led her to seek outside support, and how tools like emotional “toolboxes” have helped—not as perfect fixes, but as a way to meet her kids (and herself) with more patience and grace.
