This week on GoodMom, Lindsay and Sunny dive into the parenting tightrope walk of letting go without losing your mind. ๐ They get real about what it means to raise authentic kids in a world that constantly tells them to โfit in.โ From twin dynamics ๐ฏโโ๏ธ to teen โmean girlโ phases ๐ฌ to the science behind why being fake can actually harm your health (yep, Harvard says so!), this episode is packed with laughs, โme tooโ moments, and surprisingly deep insights. Youโll hear stories about kids who want to be adults one minute and run from responsibility the next ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ, how to build confidence with curiosity instead of control, and why sometimes the best parenting move is to just roll with it. ๐
๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ What We Talk About:
- The wild contradiction of kids wanting freedom but fearing failure ๐
- When to guide vs. when to step back and let them lead ๐ฑ
- Why pretending to โfit inโ can take a toll on your health ๐ง ๐
- How vulnerability and honesty can boost your childโs confidence ๐ช
- Sunnyโs hilarious and heartfelt stories about raising identical twins who choose to dress alike again ๐๐
- The art of failing fast โ and why thatโs key to building resilience ๐
๐ก Big Takeaway:
You donโt need all the answers. Let your kids experiment, stumble, and discover who they are โ while you model what being your true, happy self looks like. ๐
๐ฌ Favorite Quotes:
โHaving questions available is sometimes better than having answers.โ โ Lindsay
โWhen youโre your happiest self, do more of that. Thatโs the formula.โ โ Sunny
๐ง Tune in for heart, humor, and those โI thought it was just me!โ parenting moments.
