This week, Janelle is joined by licensed therapist, content creator, and mom of two Andrea Brambila to talk about modern parenting, family dynamics, and the pressure parents are under to do literally everything perfectly.

 

Andrea shares her thoughts on "90s-style parenting," why kids don't need parents acting like full-time cruise directors, and how independence, boredom, and lower screen time can actually create calmer family dynamics.

 

The conversation also gets into navigating difficult in-laws while raising kids, how to decide which parenting "hills" are actually worth dying on, and why flexibility matters… especially when extended family members do things differently than you would.

 

They also talk about creating a home that people genuinely want to be in, why connection matters more than control, and how trying to force relationships almost always backfires.
