The TV is on and I’m not mad about it

Can you hear how calm I sound?

That’s because the TV is on.

After years of avoiding screen time, early-morning wake ups and sheer exhaustion pushed me into a new phase of parenting...the morning movie.

And honestly? It’s been one of the nicest shifts we’ve had.

In this episode, I talk about:

1. How watching movies together has become a GLORIOUS shared shared ritual
2. Why I feel very differently about movies versus kids TV
3. What it’s been like seeing my daughter’s imagination, storytelling and personality evolve

There’s also a very unexpected detour into Frozen... Elsa’s emotional avoidance, Anna’s deeply under-celebrated resilience and why I suddenly have strong opinions about Disney merch.

If you’ve ever changed your mind about something you swore you’d never do, or found something genuinely good hiding inside a survival decision, this one’s for you.

And if you've got a great kids movie recommendation (or thoughts on Frozen) send them my way - rachel@meandmytinyhuman.com
