Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto

65: Good Enough Parenting: Letting Go of Perfection and Comparison with Dr. Catherine Kizana


Listen Later

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Dr. Catherine Kizana—doctor, parent coach, and advocate for helping parents thrive—to talk about what it truly means to be a “good enough” parent.
Drawing on attachment research and her coaching experience, Catherine reminds us that parenting isn’t about being flawless. It’s about being present, embracing the power of repair when we make mistakes, and meeting our children’s real needs—not the ones we think we should meet.
We also tackle one of the biggest traps parents fall into: comparison.
Catherine shares how to stop comparing your inner struggles to the perfect-looking lives of others on social media and start focusing on what really matters in your family.
If you’re tired of the constant pressure to do more, be more, and keep up, this episode will help you step back, breathe, and parent from a place of connection and confidence.
Tune in now to take the first step in letting go of comparison and embracing the messy, beautiful journey of being “good enough". Yesss.
