Episode description

Ever find yourself deep in the trenches of parenthood, wondering if you're supposed to be quoting a parenting expert, a viral Instagram reel, or that one book you read (half of) last year? We've all been there–trying to keep up with the tidal wave of advice coming from social media, experts, podcasts (hi!), and even that random stranger in the grocery store. It's a lot. In this episode, Jenna sits down with Washington Post Columnist, Author, and Parenting Coach Meghan Leahy to tackle a truth many parents don't know they're wrestling with: too much advice can actually make us worse at parenting. Meghan and Jenna dig into why trusting your instincts is the ultimate parenting superpower. You'll learn how to cut through the noise, let go of the guilt, and lean into what you already know about your child as the guiding principle. Together, they explore how the constant stream of "helpful" tips can drown out the one voice we should be listening to most–our own.
