Summary

If you’re a parent, you may have heard a million different theories on how to best raise children. But here’s the thing: none of those people have ever been in your shoes and they’ve never raised your kids. In today’s episode, Rachel talks about parenting from intuition and from your own lived experience. Do we really need advice from experts, ChatGPT, or a hundred parenting books telling us what to do, or is this something we just innately know? Is it okay to lecture other people’s kids? Can we be friends with our kids or do we always have to be that authoritarian figure? Maybe parents don’t need more boxes to check on the parenting checklist. Maybe they just need more support so they can do what they already know how to do. Tune in for an episode that will guide you on your own journey in parenthood and remind you to always lead with love and compassion.
