In this episode, I sit down with Dasy Perez, a preschool teacher with over 25 years of experience and early childhood expert, to uncover the biggest parenting pitfalls and how to avoid them. From navigating tantrums to mastering potty training, we cover it all. Plus, we’ll explore how to create a nurturing, supportive, and bilingual environment for your little ones.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
