"Send Ben a text"

What does a viral “Phillies Karen” baseball moment have to do with your parenting? More than you think.

In this episode, I break down the Phillies Karen story—not to pile on or cancel—but to show you how outrage, mob mentality, and cancel culture are distractions that rob you of real parenting power.

You’ll learn:

• Why cancel culture is contagious (and so is compassion)
• How herd mentality creeps into your parenting without you realizing
• What the Phillies dad’s choice actually teaches us about conflict, love, and character
• Simple questions you can ask yourself to rise above outrage and parent with confidence

This isn’t about judging strangers online—it’s about reflecting inward and becoming the parent your teen needs most.

👉 Parenting gets easier (and more fun) when you stop trying to fix others and start focusing on who you want to be.
