What happens when the way you raise your kids doesn’t look anything like the way you were raised? In this episode, we talk about the emotional complexity of parenting differently, especially when it comes to boundaries, family dynamics, and generational expectations. I share the story of when my daughter asked that her grandparents stop coming to her soccer games, and how it sparked tension about opening up. I also open up about how my healing journey shifted the way I parent, and how those changes have led to misunderstandings with extended family.

 

Highlights

• Why doing things DIFFERENTLY doesn’t mean you’re doing them WRONG.

• Why raising your kids differently can stir up family tension.

• How to manage disappointment from parents without spiraling into guilt.
