Parenting trends come and go — gentle parenting, helicopter parenting, lighthouse parenting. But what if all these labels are just distractions?

In this episode, Andrew and Caroline dive into why chasing parenting fads can pull us further from what really matters: connection, trust, and raising capable humans. They share personal stories (including life lessons from Willy Wonka) and talk about the danger of over-labelling.

Plus, we tackle the billion-dollar industry profiting off parents’ insecurities and explore how to cut through the noise and stay anchored to your own family values.

Grab your coffee and join us — no labels required.

Homework Ideas:

• Define Your Parenting North Star: Write down 3-5 values that matter most in your family. Pin it somewhere visible. (Example: connection, respect, curiosity, kindness)
• Digital Detox: Take a week off reading any parenting content online (including social media “advice”) and notice how you feel.
• Create a Connection Space: Carve out a “no screens, no agenda” zone in your home — where you simply exist together.
