The Wildly Independent Gen X Childhood & the Art of Letting Go

Episode 3: Heather and Selin dive straight into the stuff no one tells you - but should - about parenting.  We take a nostalgic (and slightly incredulous) walk down memory lane, back to a time when Gen X kids roamed the neighbourhood with a hilariously questionable level of freedom — and then pivot to the very real challenge of giving our own kids the space to grow without hovering and clutching our pearls.It’s an episode full of laughs, nostalgia, and genuine honesty about trying to parent well when the rulebook is…unhelpfully vague.Whether you're wondering how you made it out of childhood intact, or you’re deep in the trenches of modern parenting, this one’s for you. Real talk, real laughs, and a gentle reminder that we’re all just winging it and doing our best.Selin’s reco:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-rachel-hollis-podcast/id1245763628?i=1000673972819Or https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/game-changers-with-molly-fletcher/id1210452428?i=1000702961255Heather’s reco:gimpy https://www.instagram.com/gimpy?igsh=c2Q0djBmenZ0cTdqLinks Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onlygetsbetterpodcast Selin’s Insta: https://www.instagram.com/littlefacelens Heather’s Insta: https://www.instagram.com/progression_lab Heather’s Substack: https://substack.com/@heatherpatersonwrites
