Why Modern Parenting Is Stripping Our Kids of Independence with Lenore Skenazy  | Ep. 132

Why Modern Parenting Is Stripping Our Kids of Independence with Lenore Skenazy | Ep. 132

Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids, has been sounding the alarm for years: in our effort to protect our children, we may actually be holding them back. In this conversation, we dive into what’s happened to childhood over the past few decades, why independence is declining, why parents feel more pressure than ever to supervise and structure everything, and what it’s costing our kids. From helicopter parenting and “bulldozer” parenting to overscheduled calendars and screen heavy childhoods, we unpack how modern parenting norms may be limiting the very skills our kids need to thrive. This episode isn’t about judgment. It’s about perspective, and practical ways to raise capable, confident, independent kids in a culture that often pushes the opposite. In this episode, we discuss: The message behind Free-Range Kids and why it still matters today The essential skills children need to grow into independent, resilient adults Why modern parenting culture often discourages independence The downsides of helicopter parenting and bulldozer parenting How overprotection can increase anxiety in children Why mixed-age play and community matter more than we realize Whether kids actually prefer structured activities, screens, or unstructured play The power of giving kids real responsibility What the Let Grow movement is and how it helps families foster independence If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re hovering too much… or worried that giving your child more freedom feels risky in today’s world… this episode will challenge and encourage you in the best way. Raising independent kids doesn’t mean being uninvolved. It means gradually stepping back so they can step forward. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT LINKS • ✨ Join our Mom Club on Patreon HERE ✨ 👈🏼 • Check out Laila’s Clean Makeup Bag Staples HERE • Or shop the whole nontoxic makeup site HERE ◦ Use Code ADVOCATE10 for 10% off!

This episode is honest, reflective, and full of what’s ahead. We cover: Our pregnancy announcement and how we found out What I focused on while trying to conceive (from a health and mindset standpoint) Preparing your body for pregnancy in a sustainable, non-obsessive way How this pregnancy has felt emotionally so far Answers to common questions I’ve already been getting What this new season means for our family rhythm What this means for the future of the podcast Thank you for walking through motherhood with me 🤍 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT LINKS • ✨ Join our Mom Club on Patreon HERE ✨ 👈🏼 • The prenatal I’m taking is linked HERE • Truly Free Home- Toxin Free Laundry Detergent and Cleaning Supplies HERE ◦ Use Code LEARNINGTOMOM for 30% off! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- pregnancy announcement podcast, trying to conceive advice, preparing for pregnancy, motherhood podcast update, birth plan discussion, healthy pregnancy mindset, christian mom podcast, family life update, mom podcast life update, growing family journey, conceiving naturally mindset, pregnancy health preparation, stay at home mom podcast, motherhood community podcast, Newborn care podcast, Postpartum podcast, Infant podcast, New baby podcast, Baby podcast, Motherhood podcast, First time mom, Best motherhood podcast, Best parenting podcast, Holistic parenting podcast, Holistic newborn, Crunchy mom podcast, Mom podcast, parenting podcast, First time mom podcast, motherhood podcast, postpartum podcast, infant podcast, newborn care podcast, new baby podcast, pregnancy podcast, how to parent, parenting tips, parenting advice, 2 month old, 3 month old, 4 month old, 5 month old, 6 month old, 7 month old, 8 month old, 9 month old, 10 month old, 11 month old, 12 month old, toddler podcast, best motherhood podcast, mom chats podcast, mom friends podcast,

How Mommy Wine Culture Hurts Moms (Even If You Think It Doesn’t) with Set Free Sisterhood | Ep. 121

If you’ve ever joked about “surviving motherhood" with wine or alcohol or if you feel like that evening glass is the only thing getting you through motherhood, this episode is one you’ll want in your ears... Today, we’re breaking down mommy wine culture with Set Free Sisterhood and talking about why it’s become so normalized… and why it’s quietly hurting so many moms (even the ones who insist they “don’t have a problem”). We talk about the subtle early signs that alcohol is becoming a coping tool, how isolation + lack of village fuels the problem, and the real-life consequences no one wants to say out loud. And if you’re a mom who’s feeling pulled to make a change, but you’re scared of what that means.. this conversation is full of encouragement, hope, and simple first steps! We dive into: • What mommy wine culture actually is and why it exploded in modern motherhood • Early signs a mom might need help with alcohol or emotional coping • The real consequences of using wine as a daily coping mechanism • How the “lack of village” and mom isolation feeds the wine culture narrative • How to start a brave, honest conversation with yourself about drinking • What to do if you want to cut back but feel afraid of judgment or social pressure ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT LINKS • ✨ Join our Mom Club on Patreon HERE ✨ 👈🏼 • Truly Free Home- Toxin Free Laundry Detergent and Cleaning Supplies HERE ◦ Use Code LEARNINGTOMOM for 30% off!
