Episode 464: Questions for Rebecca about Parenting & Marriage


Listen Later

🌀 Are you constantly questioning if you’re 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 alone—and 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 breath—and maybe give the goldfish a chance.


⭐ 5 Key Takeaways:
Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Whether it’s 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 doesn’t mean you’re failing. Couples who care about each other do fight—learning how to fight fair is the key.
You are not defined by your child’s struggles. Kids will struggle. That doesn’t mean you’re 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.

🗣️ Best Quotes:👧 

Ella: “Treat yourself the way you would treat your best friend.”💬 

Rebecca: “Good parents have kids who struggle. What matters is that you keep showing up.”😂 

Seth: “Calm is contagious—there’s a book title in there somewhere.”
