Welcome to Parenting Breakdown

Welcome to Parenting Breakdown with hosts Rachel Henes, a noted parenting educator and consultant on achievement culture at some of America’s most competitive schools, and her husband Matt Borden, a coach for high performing executives, discuss the ins and outs of parenting mindfully in a non-stop world. Parenting Breakdown is like having weekly coffee with your BFF’s (one who happens to be a kid whisperer) and dives into the research about what helps kids thrive and the triggers that can set parents off. With humor and candor, Rachel and Matt break down their own and listeners’ real-world parenting moments and explore the expectations, pressures, and joys of raising kids today. It’s an ongoing journey to get to the heart of what parents care about most: doing right by our kids and supporting them to become their best selves. Turns out, the journey can help us become our best selves too.
