Oh, the joys of parenting when you're running on three hours of sleep and yesterday’s coffee. In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of what it really means to lead by example—not the Instagram-worthy, perfectly curated version, but the raw, messy, beautifully human one.
How do we reconcile our own, often slightly unkept, growth with the desire to guide our children toward resilience, authenticity, and joy?
We dive into the imperfect art of "showing up". Parenting isn’t about flawless execution (thank fark)—it’s about presence. It’s about letting your kids witness your mistakes and the ways you learn from them.
When we embrace our own humanness, what are we teaching them about theirs?
Parenting isn’t just about raising kids; it’s a mirror reflecting back the parts of ourselves we often overlook. If you’ve ever felt like the wheels are falling off the parenting wagon or questioned how to inspire your kids when you feel far from inspirational, this one’s for you. It’s a love letter to imperfect parents everywhere—reminding you that being real, vulnerable, and willing to grow is the ultimate example.
So grab a cuppa (or whatever keeps you grounded) and join us as we explore how being the example isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being real, agile, and deeply committed to the experience.
