What The Feeling

In this episode of What the Feeling, I sit down with my friend Laura to explore what it really means to live between who we are and who the world expects us to be.Laura shares her powerful journey of losing 50 kilos, but more importantly, letting go of the weight she carried from other people’s opinions. We dive into the stories we tell ourselves, how those stories shape how we feel, and what it takes to rewrite them.This conversation goes beyond physical transformation. We talk about identity, family, and the ripple effect that change can have, especially in a world where our children are also navigating who they are and where they belong.It’s raw, honest, and deeply human.If you’ve ever felt the pressure to fit in, to be someone you’re not, or struggled to hear your own voice over the noise - this one’s for you.

In this episode of What the Feeling?, I’m joined by my dear friend and fellow parent, Fabiana, as we explore the emotional truth behind the transition from tweens to teens and into the twenties - and how parenting seems to involve constantly adjusting the balance between holding on and letting go.Together, we talk about the foundations we build in the early years, the scaffolding that supports growing independence, and the challenge of knowing when to step in and when to step back (usually about five minutes after we’ve already stepped in). From both perspectives - being a parent and being parented - we reflect on how relationships evolve as children grow and roles begin to change.This is a conversation about connection, trust, and learning to laugh a little at ourselves while figuring it all out.Because parenting doesn’t come with a manual - and neither does growing up.If this conversation resonated with you and you’d like to be part of a future episode or share your perspective, I’d love to hear from you.
