In this week’s raw and honest episode of Mama’s Playground, we dive into the modern struggle nearly every parent faces: are we accidentally overparenting our kids? From managing friendships and school drama to weekend exhaustion, guilt, tracking apps, and wanting to protect our children from everything—we unpack the emotional tug-of-war between keeping them safe and letting them grow.

We share personal stories about tantrums, friendship conflicts, body image, consequences, independence, and the pressure of raising kids in today’s world. We also reveal the “aha moments” that made us question our parenting style… and how to find the right balance between connection and control.

This episode is real, relatable, funny, and comforting for every parent trying their best.
