What Are Your Kids Really Learning from You?

Motherhood keeps Maren on her toes, and every season of her life brings new lessons. You know she keeps it real about the challenges and the beauty of parenting, building a business, and trying to stay true to herself, especially in a culture that seems to get louder and more opinionated by the day.With humor and vulnerability, she unpacks the challenges and choices of modern parenting, her conscious shift away from social media, and the cultural forces shaping today’s children. Maren reflects on the importance of modeling healthy habits, the impact of social norms—from “mommy wine culture” to unattainable beauty standards—and the role parents play in fostering self-confidence and resilience in their kids. She also shares personal stories about her own insecurities, the value of being present with her children, and how she’s building a life more aligned with her values.View full show notes and resources on my website.What You’ll Hear in This Episode:The rewards and struggles of stepping back from social media to focus on family.Candid talks with her toddler about loss, addiction, and life’s hard truths—plus the revelation of her daughter’s rare eidetic memory.The parallels between MLM culture and “mommy wine culture,” and the messages kids absorb about alcohol, habits, and wellness.The rise of cosmetic enhancements, why it matters what our kids see, and Maren’s personal experience with beauty standards and confidence.A call to embrace both self-care and self-acceptance, and to nurture our children’s inner worth.The Income Blueprint: Unfiltered is the podcast for entrepreneurs, creators, and business owners who want to build real income without the fluff.
