Dear Friends,

This week’s rewind episode was born from one of your questions – a heartfelt note from a preschool parent who’s with all of us on this parenting journey. She asked about something so many of us wrestle with but rarely say out loud: how to handle our own negative self-talk and the disappointment we sometimes feel in ourselves as parents.

From the moment we read her email, we knew this conversation mattered – not just for her, but for every single one of us trying to raise children in an imperfect world.

We laughed, we got real, and yes, we even shared some of our own “parenting oops” moments. Because here’s the truth: there’s no such thing as a perfect parent – and that’s actually the good news.

When you join us for this episode, you’ll walk away with:

🌿 Freedom from the myth of perfection
We unpack what “parental perfectionism” really is, how to spot it, and most importantly, how to let it go so you can show up more authentically for your kids.

💡 Tools to reframe mistakes as growth
You’ll hear how being honest about your slip-ups actually teaches your children empathy, resilience, and compassion – things no “perfect” performance ever could.

🤝 The reminder that you’re never alone
We talk about the power of your village – mentors, friends, community – and how leaning on them can help you see the small wins you might be missing.

At the heart of it, this episode is about giving yourself permission to be human, to laugh when things go sideways, and to remember that progress – not perfection – is what truly matters.

So come sit with us for a bit. Let’s breathe, share, and remind each other: we’re all learning as we go, and that’s more than enough.

With gratitude and solidarity,
Kristina & Heather
