How do we raise successful, happy children?

Parenthood doesn’t come with a manual, but my husband and I have found a powerful guide in the T.R.I.C.K. framework from Esther Wojcicki’s book, How to Raise Successful People: Simple Lessons for Radical Results.

In this episode, we break down each of the five components of T.R.I.C.K. and share how we’re implementing these principles into our everyday parenting. Tune in to hear our favorite lessons from this unconventional framework!

In this episode of Partners Beyond Parenthood, I’m sharing a personal update on my journey through my second pregnancy. 

I reflect on the differences between my first pregnancy and this one, from the decision to expand our family to managing pregnancy while raising a toddler, and how my knowledge as a parent has grown. 

I also dive into common misconceptions surrounding breastfeeding, fertility, and periods, offering insights from my own experiences, and talk about how I’ve used the Oura Ring and Natural Cycles method to track my fertility and conceive.

I share my evolving perspective on C-sections and vaginal births, inspired by recent conversations with podcast guests. As I prepare for both possibilities, I emphasize the importance of having the right support system and keeping an open mind.

Tune in for a personal and hopefully informative episode if you are trying to conceive again!

Ready or thinking about the next step of how to introduce solids to your little one?

In this episode of Partners Beyond Parenting, I share my personal journey of navigating baby-led weaning and why it became the main method we chose.

If you're approaching your baby's six-month milestone and debating between purees, baby-led weaning, or a mix of both, you're not alone!

I talk you through how we made our decision, the pros and cons of each method, and the challenges we faced along the way. From messy mealtimes to concerns about choking, and even how we balanced our busy lifestyle, I’ll offer insights into the realities of both approaches.

Baby-led weaning has helped foster our child’s independence, but it wasn’t without its hiccups. If you're a new parent looking for guidance or just curious about which method might fit your family, this episode will give you the clarity you need to make the best choice for your little one.

I hope it helps you in your own parenting journey!
