đ Are you constantly questioning if youâre doing this parenting or marriage thing right?
Do you ever feel overwhelmed, over-scheduled, or unsure about how to truly connect with your kids and partner?
You are not aloneâand this episode is packed with insight, support, and a few laughs to get you through.
In this Q&A-style episode of Whinypaluza Wednesday, Rebecca is joined by her daughter Ella and husband Seth to answer real-life questions from parents and teens. Ella shares honest thoughts on school, friendships, and what teens really want from their parents. Rebecca brings decades of therapy and parenting wisdom to address common challenges, including emotional regulation, burnout, marriage struggles, and the pressure to do it all. Seth adds his usual humor and grounding perspective, reminding us to take a breathâand maybe give the goldfish a chance.
â 5 Key Takeaways:
Parenting isnât about perfectionâitâs about presence. Whether itâs five minutes in the car or a quick lunch date, connection moments count more than we realize.
Regulation starts with you. Before you respond to your child (or your spouse), hit the pause button and focus on your own emotions.
Fighting doesnât mean youâre failing. Couples who care about each other do fightâlearning how to fight fair is the key.
You are not defined by your childâs struggles. Kids will struggle. That doesnât mean youâre doing it wrong. It means you keep showing up.
Let go in inches, not miles. Independence is a slow, flexible process. Test it, observe, and adjust with intention.
đŁď¸Â Best Quotes:đ§Â
Ella: âTreat yourself the way you would treat your best friend.âđŹÂ
Rebecca: âGood parents have kids who struggle. What matters is that you keep showing up.âđÂ
Seth: âCalm is contagiousâthereâs a book title in there somewhere.â
