Feeling exhausted from doing everything — the school snacks, the bedtime routines, the constant reminders — and ready to just burn the whole thing down?

What if being a "Lazy Parent" was the key to more joy and ease?!

Spoiler alert - I think it is!!

In this week’s episode, I invite you into a surprisingly freeing mindset: Lazy Parenting.

No, it’s not about neglect or indifference — it’s about choosing intentional calm over chaos (trying to keep up with Insta trends), and kind and firm parenting instead of over-functioning (doing everything for everyone).

And guess what?! This actually makes parenting feel easier and sustainable.

When you are done listening, you will know:

• Why doing less for your kids helps them become more responsible and resilient.
• The simple mindset shifts that end daily power struggles without yelling.
• How to reclaim your energy and connection using gentle discipline that actually works.

If you’re ready to parent with more ease — and finally see your kids listen without all the nagging — this episode will be your permission slip to relax, breathe, and raise confident kids the sustainable way.

We explore why toddlers hit, bite, and grab at playdates and how to respond without shame or panic.

Did you know - these behaviors are VERY common stage in the early years of development?! Research shows that these behaviors are actually very common in early childhood. Studies find that between 26% and 70% of toddlers show some form of physical aggression — hitting, biting, pushing, or scratching — depending on how it’s measured. And in real-life parent reports, around 50–60% of children ages 1-3 hit or lash out at least occasionally when frustrated.

So first off.. not need to think you are failing or raising a psychopath.

When your child hits, spits, or scratches at a playdate, it can feel mortifying — but these moments are actually powerful teaching opportunities.

In this episode, I'll share 3 Playdate Reset Tips, including:

• How to remember what really matters,
• How to teach your child the new behaviors in a way that will finally STICK.
• How to get the end results of more FUN and EASY playdates, without any amount of panic.

Does your child suddenly “lose their hearing” the moment you ask them to pick up their shoes, come to the table, or turn off the tablet? You’re not alone—and you’re not going crazy. In this episode, we’ll unpack why kids pretend not to hear you and how to break the exhausting cycle of repeating yourself over and over.

By the time you finish listening, you will know:

• Why kids really tune us out (and it’s not because they’re disrespectful).
• The “connect before you direct” approach that makes kids instantly more responsive.
• How to stop the power struggle of the child ignoring and you repeating yourself 17 times... all the while getting to the end of your rope, ready to scream.
• The one magic phrase that cuts through the ignoring act almost every time.

Friend, parenting with kindness and firmness doesn’t mean raising your voice—it means finding simple tools that bring more calm and cooperation at home. This episode will show you how.
