What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

DEEP DIVE: Brave Parenting in a Scary World


Listen Later

This month's Deep Dive series is about parenting through uncertainty. Listen to all of the episodes in the series with this Spotify playlist.

Gloria DeGaetano, parenting expert and founder of the Parent Coaching Institute, recently wrote: "There's almost not a word to express the stress parents are under right now. 'Overwhelmed' doesn't cut it. It's beyond anything we've ever experienced."

This really is a strange and scary moment for all of us, and parenting through our own anxiety is proving a special challenge.

In this episode we discuss how to parent bravely–which doesn't mean parenting in denial but does mean creating emotional safety for our families even when we don't have all the answers.


Here are links to some of the writing on the topic that we discuss in this episode:

  • Kidpower.org: How To Choose Safety in Scary Times
  • Ariana Eunjung Cha for Washington Post: ‘It’s like a fire alarm every day’
  • Alison Snyder et al for Axios: Parents Aren't All Right
  • Fresh Take: Christina Hillsberg on How Being a Spy Prepared Her For Parenting
  • Helping Kids Feel Secure In a Scary World (With Guest Dr. Abigail Gewirtz)
