Ever feel like you're doing all the right parenting things—being gentle, meeting every emotional need, creating magical childhoods—yet still ending up overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure if it’s even working?
In this episode, I’m joined by parenting coach and founder of Hi Fam, Avital Schreiber Levy, who’s here to challenge the modern parenting trends that leave moms burnt out and kids emotionally fragile. Avital offers a refreshing third way that’s neither permissive nor authoritarian—but rooted in confident, values-based leadership.
We talk about:
- Why “child-led everything” might be hurting our kids more than helping
- What children actually crave from their parents (hint: it’s not constant entertainment)
- How to build a strong family culture that your kids will want to recreate
- The truth about mom guilt—and how to let it go
- What it means to future-proof your kids against anxiety, confusion, and internet overload
- Simple ways to start leading your family with calm, clarity, and confidence
Whether your home feels a little chaotic right now or you’re just tired of second-guessing every parenting decision, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, encouraged, and ready to reclaim your role as the heart of your family.
