Performative parenting: Are we really present?

My friend Shannon and I have been walking this journey together for years, and this conversation is one of the most honest we’ve had.We talk about motherhood, friendship, and the subtle ways alcohol had us performing instead of truly connecting—showing up physically while missing pieces of ourselves emotionally.This episode is about what changed, what surprised us, and how choosing differently gave us more presence, more honesty, and more of ourselves back.
