Are you parenting… or just Googling your way through parenting?

A recent national poll found that 80% of parents with children ages 0–4 are turning to social media for advice on things like toilet training, sleep struggles, discipline, and nutrition. But instead of feeling more confident, many parents say they feel more confused.

In this episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I sit down with internationally respected parenting expert and bestselling author Naomi Aldort to talk about what it looks like to parent without all the digital noise.

Naomi is the author of Listen to Your Baby, a reassuring guide that helps parents build trust, reduce stress, and respond to their child’s cues with confidence instead of fear or reactivity.

And let me tell you — this conversation was not your typical parenting advice.

Instead of quick fixes or discipline scripts, Naomi shares a different approach rooted in connection, leadership, and trusting your instincts.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why so many parents feel overwhelmed by social media advice
• How to rebuild confidence in your own parenting instincts
• 3 things to do when a toddler bites or hits
• A fresh perspective on teaching “good” behavior without shaming or labeling
• What’s really happening when your child won’t listen — and how to respond differently
• Unique techniques for handling sibling fighting that move beyond punishment or forced apologies

One of the most powerful parts of this conversation was Naomi’s perspective on sibling conflict and those “in one ear and out the other” moments. Instead of escalating or repeating ourselves endlessly, she shares alternative strategies that focus on emotional regulation and respectful leadership — techniques that may feel different from what many of us grew up with.

Two years ago, Sarah Parise joined me to talk about postpartum depression, mom guilt, anxiety, and the messy transition into motherhood.

And today? She’s back.

In this episode, we catch up on what’s changed in her motherhood journey, what self-care looks like in this season of life, and why so many moms are still running on empty.

Sarah is an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, wellness specialist, yoga instructor, business owner, and mom who is passionate about helping women take care of themselves in a way that actually fits into real life. No overhauls. No extremes. No guilt.

She’s launching something new called The 2% Club — a completely free beta wellness space for moms who want to prioritize their health without giving up the things they love or spending hours in the gym.

We talk about:

• Why “all or nothing” thinking keeps moms stuck
• The real reason self-care feels so hard
• How just 2% of your day can change your mindset
• What quick 10 to 15 minute workouts actually do for your energy
• A realistic approach to meal planning and prep
• How to stay consistent when life feels chaotic
• What moms can expect inside The 2% Club

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve failed at every wellness routine you’ve tried… this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Because taking care of yourself should not require sacrificing yourself.
