This one’s for the parents just trying to survive.
In this bonus episode, we’re stepping away from career pivots and diving into the gloriously chaotic world of parenting — specifically, all the questionable hacks we’ve used that definitely wouldn’t make it into a parenting book… but should.
From dyeing Advil red to make it more appealing, to telling our kids that “Le Monsieur” shuts down the parks at night, to casually strapping them into their car seats just to get 3 minutes of silence — we’re laying it all out. We’re talking beach chicken, Pokémon card currency, bedtime outfits that double as school clothes, and the greatest trick of all: making your kids think your food tastes better than theirs.
These might be mildly unhinged… but they’re highly effective.
If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “How are we all just doing this without a manual?” — this episode is for you.
👉 And we want to hear from YOU.
