    264. Sleepovers and Why We Don't Usually Allow Them

    Sleepovers were a huge part of my childhood but as a parent, I see them differently. In this episode, I share why our family doesn’t usually allow sleepovers, what changed my perspective over the years, and the time we recently hosted a big birthday sleepover at our house. From parenting boundaries to creating a safe space where kids feel welcome, this episode is an honest conversation about safety, trust, and raising kids in a different world. I’d love to hear your thoughts on sleepovers! Text me at 855-849-0997 and join the conversation.

    261. Apparently 2026 is the New 2016, but it was the Year I was Surviving and Not Thriving

    Instagram says 2026 is the new 2016... So, that trend sent me straight into my camera roll. In this episode, I’m walking through my real, and honestly, a lot of forgotten 2016 memories. From postpartum exhaustion, career shifts, family trips, to toddler milestones, mom guilt, and more. These are the memories I didn’t realize were shaping me at the time and maybe, this will encourage you to take your own walk down memory lane. 💰GREENLIGHT: Earn $30 when you sign up for Greenlight using the following link - https://share.greenlight.com/181376382 With the money app and debit card for kids and teens, we can send our kids money instantly, assign chores, and teach them to earn, save, and invest! 💻 Follow me on INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/chrystylockhart/ 📱Join the FREE text COMMUNITY: http://formstax.co/21ee80d9 🎙️RATE & REVIEW: If this episode spoke to your heart, please leave a review—it helps more moms like you find the show! 🫶🏼 🛑 DISCLAIMER: The information and opinions contained in Start Scared is for personal and entertainment purposes only.
