Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. In this episode of Herm’s House, Kristin shares the highs, lows, and learning moments that come with raising kids, showing up for family, and trying to get the dang podcast mic to work. 😂🎤

From baseball field milestones and emotional teenage shifts, to parenting style clashes and generational habits we’re trying to unlearn, this one’s got a little bit of everything.

We talk about:

• ⚾ Watching Gordy grow on and off the field
• 💬 The power of encouragement, even when it's hard
• 😅 Technical difficulties and parenting meltdowns
• 🧠 Emotional intelligence, empathy, and the beauty of trying again
• 👵 Grandparenting dynamics & learning from the past

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about getting it all right—it’s about showing up, messing up, and keeping it moving with love and intention.

This week on Herm’s House, we’re diving into the messy, meaningful world of education, parenting, and personal growth—because let’s be honest, the curve is rarely a straight line. 😅

From the animated chaos of Big Mouth to the very real pressure our kids face in school, we’re talking about:

• Standardized testing stress and its invisible weight 🎓
• Learning styles that challenge the one-size-fits-all system
• The connection between mental health & academic pressure 🧠
• How parents juggle their own expectations while advocating for their kids
• And why success isn’t just about grades—it’s about joy, confidence, and growth

This episode is for every parent who’s ever questioned the system, celebrated a small win, or just needed a reminder that their kid is doing just fine.
