Parenting with Purpose: Letting Go of Perfection, Embracing Connection

In this episode, Dr. Sarah Rasmi is joined by licensed psychologist Michelle Estekantchi to explore the pressure to be the "perfect" parent — and how it often gets in the way of real connection. We talk about how perfectionism shows up in parenting, where it comes from, and how to shift toward a more grounded, connected approach. Michelle shares insights from her work with children, teens, and families, offering practical strategies to help you tune into your child's needs without losing yourself in the process.
