Connecting the Dots: Not Just Another Parenting Podcast
This is not parenting advice. This is my well-informed parenting perspective.
A little bit autobiographical, a little bit cultural reflection, a whole lot of talking about parenting and its role in creating social change.

Episode 11
In this episode, I am in conversation with Steph, a mom who describes herself as a "neurospicy."
We talk a lot about how it actually, physically FEELS to parent, particularly when we are committed to gentle or responsive parenting and we are managing big feelings from our kids and ourselves at the same time. We question whether our expectations for our kids prevent us from being empathetic with them and confront the old enemy, "mom guilt."
