Hey Parents,

With some time to explore our other hobbies in the last month, we are able to end February with a new episode talking about children’s free play. Free play is when children have full freedom to play in whatever way they want, usually without a parent, guardian, or caretaker voicing their concerns for the child’s safety during that time. Take a listen to this episode to hear about the benefits and how our experiences with play as children have affected our lives now. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts, so DM us on social media! Find our guest speaker form on our Linktree, too.

Happy new year! We have new goals that we want to share regarding what we want to see improve in terms of our relationships with our parents. We are also excited to kick off the new year with our guest speaker sign-up form! If you are interested in being a guest speaker on our podcast to talk about your experiences or want to talk about interesting topics around parents, please fill out our guest speaker form that is provided on Twitter and Instagram! Don't forget to DM us your thoughts and comments on social media, and rate our podcast on Spotify!

In our last episode of 2021, we reflect on having gone home to our parents for the holiday break.

Happy holidays! It’s coming to the end of the year which means many of us are going back home and visiting family. Here we chat about what it’s been like to go home for the holidays to see our parents. While this time of year can be challenging for some, we talk about the things we’ve done to navigate those challenging times and how we view going home for the holidays now. Have a safe holiday season and don't forget to DM us your thoughts and comments on Instagram or Twitter!

We owe it to our parents for the lives we have today. With the holiday season coming up, it’s time to share what we feel we’re most grateful for when it comes to the lives our parents have given us.

Choosing a career is difficult - getting our parents on board with our choices can be even harder! In the third episode of the Hey Parents podcast, Alina and Bryant share how they navigated their career choices with their parents.

In the second episode of the Hey Parents podcast, Alina and Bryant talk about their parents' perspectives on them dating throughout high school and college. They discuss their parents' expectations and what they wish they had grown up seeing from their parents to apply to dating. We would love to hear your experiences with your parents on the subject of dating, so give us a DM or leave us a comment on Instagram (@heyparentspodcast) or Twitter (@heyparents_).
