    Is Parenting a Scam? Why So Many Parents Feel Alone

    Parenting is supposed to be the most meaningful experience of our lives… so why do so many parents feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and alone? In this episode, we talk honestly about modern parenting, loneliness, and the missing village. Many parents today are raising children without the support systems that existed for generations. With two working parents, busy schedules, and families living far apart, raising kids can feel isolating. We explore whether parenting is actually harder today or if parents are simply doing it without the community, guidance, and support that once helped raise children. This conversation dives into topics like parenting burnout, emotional load, raising kids in modern society, family life, parental stress, and the cultural shift away from village-style parenting. If you’re a parent wondering why raising kids can feel overwhelming, or you’re interested in parenting advice, family dynamics, child development, and building stronger communities for parents, this episode will make you think about parenting in a completely new way.

    The Problem With School in the Age of AI

    As parents watching how fast the world is changing, especially with AI reshaping work, education, and the future of learning, we’ve started asking some uncomfortable questions about school. Is the current school system actually preparing kids for the world they’re going to inherit? In this episode, we explore why modern education often confuses busyness with real learning, why essential life skills like critical thinking, adaptability, and emotional intelligence are often treated as optional, and how the traditional classroom structure struggles to keep up with a rapidly evolving world. Through honest conversation about parenting, education, and raising kids in the age of AI, we share how parents can help their children develop the ability to think independently, adapt to change, and find meaning in a future that will look very different from our own. If you’re interested in parenting, child development, the future of education, AI and schools, raising resilient kids, and helping children thrive in a changing world, this conversation is for you.

    That’s Not Gentle Parenting. That’s No Parenting.

    Gentle Parenting might not be failing us — maybe we were never shown how to make it work. This video explores the heart behind Gentle Parenting, why so many moms feel like they’re trying so hard but still falling apart, and what’s really missing beneath the surface. We talk about emotional safety, calm nervous systems, healing old patterns, and raising children who feel seen, heard, and held. Instead of blaming the method, we’re gently turning inward and asking what we needed as children, and how we can give that to our own kids now. If you’ve felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like you’re doing everything “right” but nothing is changing… this video is for you. It’s grace, truth, and a breath of softness for the mother who’s trying her best._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Growing as parents through deep, real conversations to raise better kids.Sign up for our Raw Newsletter www.rawparentingpodcast.comStay Connected https://www.instagram.com/rawparentingpodcast/Welcome to the Raw Parenting Podcast with Malorie!

    The Psychology of the Mom Who Carries Everything

    This video takes you inside the inner world of a sensitive mom — the kind who feels the room before anyone speaks, who absorbs moods the way others absorb sunlight. Through soft, cinematic moments, it shows how her nervous system takes in more, processes deeper, and carries the quiet weight of every shift in her home. Not because she’s dramatic, but because she’s wired to notice the invisible. It reveals how this sensitivity began long before motherhood, shaped by a childhood spent scanning for safety. This is the story of a woman who feels everything… and why nothing about that makes her broken._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Growing as parents through deep, real conversations to raise better kids.Sign up for our Raw Newsletter www.rawparentingpodcast.comStay Connected https://www.instagram.com/rawparentingpodcast/Welcome to the Raw Parenting Podcast with Tom and Malorie!
