REWIND: "KNOCK IT OFF!!!" Millennial Moms & Gentle Parenting: Breaking Cycles Without Losing Your Mind

Episode Description:We're taking a little summer breather and bringing back one of our most-loved conversations from last summer. This episode originally aired as Christina was about to turn 39... and now, one year later, she officially just turned 40. Funny how much can change in a year, yet this conversation feels just as relevant today.If you've ever ended the day thinking, "I swore I wasn't going to yell today," this episode is for you.What does gentle parenting actually look like when you're running on little sleep, juggling work and motherhood, and trying to unlearn the way you were raised?We talk about what gentle parenting really is (and isn't), how our own '90s childhoods shaped our parenting instincts, and why breaking generational cycles can feel both incredibly rewarding and incredibly hard. We also share the real-life moments where we've lost our patience, repaired with our kids, and reminded ourselves that perfection was never the goal.Because sometimes you're calmly validating feelings... and sometimes you're yelling, "Knock it off!" from the other room. Both can be true.💗 Pink SpotlightEach week, we highlight a moment, product, or practice that's bringing us joy:Christina: Roe Mineral Sunscreen Powder with the built-in brush. It's an easy, mess-free way to reapply sunscreen throughout the day, especially on little faces. Kristina: Splitwise, a simple app that makes splitting expenses with friends, family, or travel groups incredibly easy and keeps everyone organized.Love the Episode?If this conversation resonates with you, we'd love for you to share it with another parent who could use the reminder that none of us are getting it perfect, and we're all learning as we go.You can also follow along on Instagram @prettyinpinkagain @kristinabontempo and @christinatarabishy for more behind-the-scenes, clips, and everything we’re building beyond the mic. 💗Hey PIPAS!
