Busy Ain't Better: Why Modern Parenting is a Mess
A solo episode reflecting on the stress society puts on moms to stay busy.
SEASON 1 | EPISODE 75
Moms, I don’t know about y’all, but I am over it—the busy-for-the-sake-of-being-busy nonsense, the never-ending school events that do nothing but stress parents out, and the homework that somehow becomes my responsibility. Who decided we needed a themed snack day every other week? And don’t get me started on the over-scheduling—kids don’t need another enrichment class, they need to go play in the dirt.
This week, I’m breaking down why less is more when it comes to motherhood and why I refuse to let society guilt me into running myself ragged. We’re talking about the pressure to be a “productive” mom, why school uniforms are an underrated blessing, the problem with tech, and why our kids deserve to just be kids.
If you’re tired of the modern mom rat race and just want to raise good, grounded kids without losing your damn mind, this episode is for you. Let’s break the mold and get back to what actually matters.
Hit play, pour a strong cup of coffee (or wine, I don’t judge), and let’s get into it.
