This week we cover everything from millennial identity and favorite finds to fragrance exposure and hormone health plus a big parenting deep dive. We answer listener questions on celery powder in bacon, navigating unkind or violent language picked up at school, and screen habits that actually support kids’ development. We also talk about Natasha's thoughts on shows like Bluey, why repetition is beneficial, why fast-forwarding is a no in our house, and why TV is often a better choice than iPads. A practical conversation about modern parenting, health, and raising thoughtful kids in a noisy world.
