Episode 6: Perception, Projection and Public Pools OH MY

Описание: This episode is about mom guilt, perception, and the moments that break us open in public.

As summer winds down, we talk about the quiet comparisons we make as parents. The camps some kids get to attend, the activities that feel out of reach, and the internal question we don’t like to admit out loud: Is this really what my child wants… or is this coming from me?

We explore the difference between perspective and perception, how easily we project our own fears onto our kids, and how communication doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. Sometimes it comes out as a word that doesn’t make sense. Sometimes it comes out as behavior. And sometimes it comes out in a moment that feels impossible to manage.

This episode also shares a raw, vulnerable experience at a public pool that spiraled into chaos — and the unexpected compassion of a stranger who saw what was really happening and chose kindness instead of judgment.

We talk about:

Mom guilt and comparison

Behavior as communication

Why “everything means something,” even when we don’t understand it yet

How reinforcement shapes behavior at school and at home

The power of parents supporting parents

If you’ve ever felt exposed, misunderstood, or like you were one moment away from breaking — this episode is for you.
