The Great Parenting Divide: When Parenting Differences End Friendships with Sarah Knight, Founder of FoundHerFire

Parenting doesn’t just shape our kids. It quietly reshapes our friendships too.Today’s episode is a real one. Host Jennie is joined by Sarah Knight, founder of FoundHerFire and host of the podcast It’s Got Pockets, and they get into the messy, often unspoken tension that can creep in when our parenting styles don’t align.Because let’s be honest, friendships can turn into… friendSHITS real quick when you and your friends have completely different views on discipline, screen time, independence, gender dynamics, or what’s “right” for your kids.Sarah and Jennie talk about how these differences don’t just impact our children; they can strain long-term friendships, create awkward school gate dynamics, and even spark quiet competition between parents who actually like each other. So how do we navigate it? Why does parenting bring out this competitive edge in so many of us? And is it possible to stay close to people whose parenting choices you fundamentally disagree with?This conversation is honest, nuanced, and probably going to hit close to home.You can find Sarah Knight here:Website: FOUNDHER FIRE — Sarah KnightInstagram: @foundherfireYou can find Jennie Guay here:Website: Jg Premier Divorce & Breakup Coaching & Advisory | Step Parenting | UKInstagram: @whywhisperpodcast and @jennieg_premierdivorcecoach Book: Howie Blend: Playdate Adventures with Family and Friends: Amazon.co.uk: Guay, Jennie: 9781919623108: Books Hosted on Acast.
