It’s Totally Fine to Find Parenting Hard

It's Totally Fine

Show Notes

Parenting is hard, and it’s okay to admit that.

In this episode of It’s Totally Fine, we talk honestly about the emotional reality of parenting: the exhaustion, the guilt, the heartbreaks, and the love that sits underneath it all.

From being told “I hate you” by your own child, to learning how to let go as kids grow older, this conversation explores the parts of parenting that don’t always get said out loud, but that so many parents quietly carry.

We also briefly chat with Coterie, who share their perspective on fatherhood, family, and balancing parenting with life on the road as a band.
