Summer was… a lot. 🌞 In this episode, Lina and Valentina get real about why they’re both over it. Lina shares how her “fun” summer plan of mixing different camps for her son turned into a schedule nightmare and a budget shocker when she saw the true cost of summer camp. Valentina opens up about why “back to school” looks totally different for her family this year as she steps into the world of homeschooling. From juggling unpredictable weeks to dreaming of the sweet structure of fall, we’re talking about the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

If you’re a parent who’s counting down the days until September or redefining what school even looks like, this one’s for you.

Has gentle parenting gone too far?

In this episode, we sit down with parenting coach and early childhood expert Danielle Lindner to unpack the growing backlash against gentle parenting. Danielle shares why the approach is often misunderstood, how it can easily tip into permissive territory, and what boundaries kids actually need to thrive.

We talk about:

• The difference between gentle and permissive parenting
• Why “being nice” isn’t the same as being effective
• How to set firm limits without yelling or losing your cool
• The guilt parents feel about saying “no” and why we need to let that go
• Tools for raising confident, respectful kids who still feel seen and heard

Whether you’re feeling burned out by meltdowns or second-guessing your parenting style, this one’s for you. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being intentional.

What happens when the life you thought you wanted turns out to be the very thing burning you out?

In this episode, we sit down with the radiant and rebellious Michelle Keinan, somatic therapist, mom, wife, and former 6-figure online coach who walked away from the hustle, the clients, and the “you’re so successful” compliments to pursue something totally unexpected: becoming a DJ.

We dive deep into what it really means to live a rich life (spoiler: it’s not about money), how to escape the comparison trap on social media, and why so many of us feel stuck chasing someone else’s version of success.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, is this it?, or feeling like you’re living a life that looks good on the outside but doesn’t feel aligned on the inside, this one’s for you.
