In this episode, I am fired up! Here's what I'm sounding off on in this episode:

• Being a "pro-screen time, anti-tablet" parent
• Being a millennial and growing up in AOL chatrooms
• "Raw-dogging" summer break
• Questioning whether to go to kindergarten or skipping straight to 1st grade
• Homeschool vs public school, hot take home school kids have a lot of opportunities for socialization
• Celebrating my son's 5th birthday!
• Struggling having a small house with no storage
• Sounding off on "therapy speak"
• Sounding off on the whole "not telling our kids we're proud of them"
• Fostering a summer of independence for my 5-year-old

What do you think? Leave me a comment or send me a DM on my Instagram if you have any strong feelings about my hot takes.

In this grab bag episode of topics, I'm taking you on a rollercoaster ride of all my inner thoughts:

• Boundaries with in-laws (I have some hot takes that might piss you off)
• In the body positive movement, no one should shame you for wanting to lose weight
• Saying no to business travel at the moment
• How disappointing people sucks but you have to do it sometimes
• Spicy thoughts around The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (we all need a little pop culture therapy, okay?)
• ...and other things!

If you're a new mom, toddler mom, or just a woman figuring out how to juggle it all, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone.

PS. Check out my episode on my other podcast, Can I Be Honest, all about marriage and relationships!
