In this first episode of Turning The Tide Tutoring Podcast, host Knikki Hernandez sits down with Rebecca L. Norrington — parent, writer, and self-proclaimed “happiness specialist.” Together, they explore some of the most challenging and meaningful aspects of parenting and personal growth.

Rebecca shares her perspective on detachment as a powerful form of love, why spanking and hitting fall short as discipline, and the heavy expectations parents often carry. She opens up about her own surprising journey into motherhood, her deep yet complicated relationship with her father, and how she realized she had been living as a reflection of him rather than her authentic self.

This honest and thought-provoking conversation touches on identity, loss, parenting, and resilience, offering wisdom for anyone seeking to parent with love while also staying true to themselves.
