Welcome to Chalkboard to Kitchen Table with Trish and Eileen!
Hear us out ... Taylor Swift might secretly be helping us parent. Because the more we listened to her songs, the more we realized: this is basically a parenting manual set to music.
In this episode of Chalkboard to Kitchen Table, we talk about how Taylor’s lyrics sound exactly like the thoughts running through our heads as parents. The big feelings. The mistakes. The learning as we go. Every era feels like a different season of parenting from the fearless early years, to the emotional moments, to setting boundaries and holding steady when things get hard.
We laugh, we reflect, and we connect her music to real-life parenting moments; teaching kids how to feel their feelings, grow from hard stuff, and know they’re loved through every phase. It’s light, relatable, and full of those “wait… yes, that’s it” moments.
If you’ve ever turned up a Taylor song in the car and thought, "why does this feel like my life right now? " this episode is for you.
See you at the table!
