    2026 Parenting Trends: Mom Burnout, Connection Crisis, Screen Time, and AI—What’s Changing Now

    Motherhood is shifting in 2026—and if you feel it in your body, you’re not imagining it. Parent mental health is becoming a public health conversation, loneliness is changing family dynamics, “gentle parenting” is moving toward kind-but-firm limits, tech boundaries are turning into family values, and AI is trying to become the village (with real risks). In this episode, I break down the biggest 2026 parenting trends from multiple sources and what Pinterest searches reveal about what moms are craving: safety, softness, and real support. Plus: simple tools you can use this week.

    Adoption, Grief, and Giraffes: Jessica's Story of Love, Loss, and Liberian Family | Ep 21

    This one’s gonna stick with you. Jessica’s not just a mom—she’s a mom of six, a brand-new nana, a business owner, and someone who’s walked through grief, healing, and hope in some of the rawest ways imaginable. In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like to build a family—through birth, loss, and international adoption. We cover: Lose a child at 37 weeks and still growing your family The wild (and painfully slow) ride of international adoption Facing the backlash of being a white mom raising a Black son How she knew her adopted son was meant to be hers—even when the “movie moment” never came The hard, beautiful lessons in patience, identity, and trauma Why “bonding issues” and “it’s too expensive” are myths worth breaking And yes, what happens when your adoption post goes viral and the internet comes for you Spoiler: Giraffes and God both make appearances. Whether you’re a parent, someone considering adoption, or just curious about the real-life stuff people don’t put on Instagram, this one’s for you.
