In this episode, Meagan and Katie dive into the myth of the “perfect childhood” — you know, the one with the Pinterest parties, magical memories, and zero meltdowns. They get real about the pressure parents feel to make every moment special, and how that can sometimes backfire (for us and the kids). From over-the-top celebrations to the everyday disappointments that build resilience, this conversation is all about finding balance, connection, and humor in the messy middle of raising good humans.
