<p>The gifted program letter came home. I threw it in the recycling. My kid isn't gifted and I'm relieved. This episode: what "average" gave me and my husband that gifted kids don't get, the gifted kid burnout pipeline, and why I'm choosing curiosity over exceptionalism. Average is not a problem to solve. #GiftedKids #AverageIsOkay #ParentingPressure #GiftedBurnout #AchievementCulture #NormalKids #ParentingChoices #RaisingHumans</p>

My Kid Isn't Gifted and I'm Relieved

A raw, honest audio diary from a working mom who has no idea what she's doing—and isn't afraid to admit it.
Join me as I navigate the impossible questions: How do you respond when your kid gets bullied? How do you teach financial literacy when you're still figuring it out yourself? How many vacations are "enough" when everyone else seems to be doing more?
No expert advice. No perfect solutions. Just real stories about raising messy, beautiful humans while trying to become a better human myself.
For parents who've ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or like they're the only one faking it.
