Description

In this heartwarming and hilarious episode, Valeria sits down with her 10-year-old son, Ben, to explore the world through his sharp, curious, and quirky lens. From Ben's "geography phase" to his plans for world travel (starting with Norway, of course), they dive into everything from childhood dreams and sibling dynamics to the joys and misadventures of growing up. Plus, Ben shares his surprising take on adulthood, discipline, and the best way to handle a Taylor Swift superfan.
