Am I Screwing Up My Kid or Just Parenting? Either Way, I’m Tired.

In this heart-opening and insight-packed conversation, I’m joined by parenting expert, speaker, and resilience coach Abigail Wald—a true powerhouse when it comes to supporting strong-willed, highly sensitive children and the parents raising them. Since 2014, Abigail has helped families across the globe strengthen their emotional bonds, build mental flexibility, and guide their kids (and themselves) with more clarity, connection, and confidence. This episode is co-hosted by my good friend and fellow mom I deeply admire, Maria Ramirez, who brings her own grounded wisdom, humor, and compassion to the mic. Together, we talk with Abigail about what it really means to parent with purpose, how to stop reacting and start responding, and why your child’s “difficult” behavior might actually be their greatest strength. Abigail shares the two most important things every parent needs, plus practical tools for transforming daily chaos into calm leadership. If you’ve ever felt like your kid is “too much” or like you’re failing despite trying everything—you are not alone. This episode is for you.
