Is School Educating... or Conditioning Our Kids?

Let’s be honest — what did you actually learn in school that you use every day now? Besides basic math and spelling, what stuck? Not much, right?

Are our kids learning how to think — or just how to follow instructions?We talk about public school vs. homeschooling, why the system hasn’t evolved, and what happens when your child spends eight hours a day being shaped by someone else’s values. This isn’t about blaming teachers. It’s about awareness and asking ourselves, who’s really raising our child?Send us your questions and/or topic suggestions here Like, share, follow and rate the podcast!

Is Living at Home Stunting Your Growth?

Why is moving out before marriage such a big deal for many? Is it about faith, tradition, survival… or control?Living at home as an adult gives off ‘I’m lucky to have supportive parents’ but can be a struggle mentally for many. We’re talking maturity vs. money, being “grown” but still treated like a kid, and why some parents see moving out as disrespect while others see it as independence. Is staying home smart—or is it holding us back? And at what age are you actually ready to be on your own?Send us your questions and/or topic suggestions here Like, share, follow and rate the podcast!

The Birth Conversation We Should've Had Sooner

We continue the conversation from last week with Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, Chris Gonzalez Baez, with a focus on the traumas that are often left on women post birth when control of your own body is left out of the equation.
