Daylight Savings Time is messing with us again—and this episode is proof! In Episode 13, Marisa and Astrid show up late and lean all the way into the chaos of time zones, cultural differences, and parenting schedules gone wrong.

From accidentally mismatched calendars to nursing babies who run on their own clocks, we explore the ways personality, culture, and parenting styles shape how we experience time.

Are you someone who plans ahead and adjusts early? Or are you just trying to keep your head above water and maybe show up within a 10-minute grace window? You’re not alone.

Topics Discussed

• The US and Europe’s out-of-sync daylight savings schedule
• How Google Calendar and second time zones changed Marisa' life
• The myth of German punctuality—and how it really works
• How our kids’ personalities mirror (or don't) our own when it comes to time
• Culture, personality, or parenting style: What really shapes your relationship to time?

Your Turn!

How does daylight savings impact your family?
Are you a planner or a go-with-the-flow type?
