Ep. 51 with Veena: Stop Teaching ‘Perfect.’ Start Modeling Love, Choice, and Repair


Listen Later

Challenging highlights you’ll want to hear:

  • Former Miss California and mom Veena shares how a 30-day, low-oil/low-salt reset and “taste the rainbow” bowls transformed her energy—and her kids’ plates. 🍓🍋🍅 
  • Matt & Alona unpack collaborative parenting (think NVC “natural giraffe”), where kids get real choices—eat your greens or drink them?—and parents lead by modeling, not mandates. 🦒✨ 
  • The marriage micro-habits that shift a whole home: weekly Sunday check-ins and a daily 6–7 second kiss to reconnect nervous systems (and let the kids witness repair). 💬❤️‍🩹 

Lean-in moments that might sting (in a good way):

  1. “Perfect is the enemy of good”—ordering Sweetgreen can be the healthiest choice today, and that’s okay. 🥗 
  2. If we fight in front of the kids, we repair in front of the kids—because they need to see the whole arc. 🔁 
  3. Your kids’ self-worth grows when love is felt, not guessed—“All you have to do to be loved is show up.” 💗
