Wanting to raise kind kids sounds simple until you’re in the middle of sibling fights, eye rolls, and moments that don’t exactly scream “kindness.” Lisa, Emilie Campbell, Julie Suazo, and Michelle Love-Day share what it actually looks like to teach kindness in real, everyday life—from modeling it in your own reactions to helping kids practice empathy, even when it’s inconvenient.

Trying to give your kids every opportunity can start to feel like a full-time job, and an expensive one at that. Lisa, Whitney Call, Tammy Hall, and G Fitisemanu talk through the pressure to keep up with packed schedules, how to tell the difference between what’s actually beneficial and what’s just “what everyone else is doing,” and how they decide what’s worth the time (and money).

It’s an awkward moment when you realize your kids might be well-meaning but still missing some of the “unspoken” rules everyone else expects them to know. When those expectations start coming from extended family, it can feel equal parts frustrating and overwhelming. Lisa, Ruth Aguirre, Amy Hackworth, and Erika Price talk through the etiquette really matters and how to guide kids without making them feel ashamed.

Realizing your child might need extra support at school can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not even sure what the next step is. Lisa, Emilie Campbell, Julie Suazo, and Michelle Love-Day talk through what an IEP actually looks like, how it’s different from a 504 plan, and what it means to work with your child’s school instead of feeling like you have to figure it out alone. They also open up about the emotions that come with advocating for your child and remind us that needing help doesn’t mean you’ve failed--it just means you’re learning what your child needs.

Watching your child struggle to make friends can be heartbreaking, especially when they turn to you for help. Lisa, Whitney Call, Tammy Hall, and Geraldine “G” Fitisemanu share how to support kids, from building social skills to finding the right activities. They also talk through when to step in, when to hold back, and how to stay a safe place your child can turn to.

They swear they’ll feed it, walk it, clean up after it but will they actually follow through? When kids start begging for a pet, it can feel like a sweet milestone or a fast track to more stress. Lisa and her Council of Moms (Ruth Aguirre, Amy Hackworth, and Erika Price) weigh in on how to tell if kids are truly ready, what expectations to set before bringing an animal home, and some interesting ways of introducing your kids to the reality of pet ownership.

AI is everywhere and somehow our kids seem to understand it better than we do. When one mom wonders what parents our age are actually supposed to teach kids about AI (especially when they’re still figuring it out themselves), Lisa and her Council of Moms (Emilie Campbell, Julie Suazo, and Michelle Love-Day) share how to start the conversation, what kids really need to understand about AI, and how parents can guide their kids through new technology without needing to be the experts.

Allowance disappears. Venmo requests appear. And somehow that thing on TikTok Shop becomes a “need.” When one mom wonders how to raise teenagers who can actually support themselves someday (and maybe start spending their own money now) Lisa, Allison Dayton, Juhi Raizada, and Steffani Raff share their thoughts. They talk about teaching teens the value of work, setting boundaries around spending, and helping kids build the habits that lead to real financial independence.

When the bickering never seems to stop and someone is always running to you in tears, it can feel impossible to know whether to step in or step back. Lisa is joined by Whitney Call, Julie Suazo, and Juhi Raizada to respond to a mom who’s caught between protecting her kids and wanting them to learn how to work things out on their own. From tattling to full-blown meltdowns, the moms share practical guidance on when to intervene, how to stay calm, and how to turn sibling conflict into an opportunity for growth.

Everyone else seems to know about that free class, that program, or that community thing, and somehow you missed the memo. If you’ve ever wondered where all these magical resources are hiding, you’re not alone. Lisa and her council of moms, Geraldine “G” Fitisemanu, Erika Price, and Wendy Mar, talk about why parenting resources can feel so invisible, how moms actually find them, and where to start when you don’t even know what to search for.
