Raising Kids in a Multicultural World with Efrat Amira

In today’s episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit, I sit down with someone I deeply admire—not just as a friend, but as a fierce and intentional mother—Efrat Amira.

We dive into the realities of raising kids across cultures—what’s beautiful, what’s hard, and what we’ve both had to unlearn along the way. Efrat opens up about her decision to homeschool, how she built her children’s education around curiosity and connection, and why she’s now open to exploring new educational paths.

We also talk about:
 ✨ Why structure builds emotional safety
 ✨ What true leadership in parenting looks like
 ✨ The difference between judgment-free parenting and value-based parenting
 ✨ How cultural pride helps kids feel grounded in who they are
 ✨ Why letting go of “perfect parenting” actually makes you a better guide

This episode is honest, heartfelt, and filled with those quiet “aha” moments that remind you—you’re not alone in this.

Whether you're parenting across cultures or simply trying to raise conscious, connected humans, Efrat’s wisdom will speak to your heart.
