If you’ve ever felt like your kids don’t listen until you’ve asked ten times (or until you’re yelling), this episode is for you. Today I’m joined by parenting and emotional wellness coach Tia Slightham, who has helped over 5,000 families move from chaos and guilt to calm, confident leadership at home through her Parenting With Purpose Method.

In this conversation, Tia shares:

• How to get your kids to listen the first time you ask
• Why timeouts don’t work and what to do instead
• Her 3-Box Behavior Roadmap every parent needs
• The secret to creating calm, consistent routines that actually stick
• Why one committed parent can transform the entire family dynamic
• How to build emotional resilience in your kids (and yourself)

Tia keeps it real, makes it doable, and gives moms the tools they need to lead with confidence without losing themselves in the process.

So if you’re tired of power struggles, constant nagging, or just feeling like you’re failing, this episode will leave you with practical tools and the encouragement you need to make a shift—starting today.

This summer, screen time in our house went from “just a little here and there” to “are my kids secretly training to be professional gamers?” It was rough, there were battles over devices, arguments between my boys, meltdowns when I said no, and more than a few moments where I wanted to chuck every iPad into the nearest lake.

Now that school is starting, we’re pressing the reset button and doing a full-on screen time detox. In this episode, I’m sharing:

• How our summer screen-time rules slowly spiraled out of control
• The fights, the FOMO, and the meltdowns that followed
• What we’re doing now to set better limits and protect our peace
• Why this new “weekends only” plan is working (most days, anyway!)

If you’ve ever felt like screens are running your house instead of you, this one’s for you. You’ll laugh, you’ll nod your head, and hopefully you’ll leave with some encouragement for your own screen-time reset.

Because let’s be real, screens aren’t going anywhere. But we can set the boundaries our kids need (even when they insist we’re the worst mom ever).

In this solo episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, Katie is throwing it way back—for all the millennial moms out there still rocking their skinny jeans, sipping iced coffee from their Stanley cups, and dodging Gen Z’s side-eye. From peace sign selfies to trapper keepers and AIM away messages, we’re diving into what makes millennial moms hilariously unique and how we’re parenting our Gen Alpha kids in a world that feels part digital, part chaos.

Katie shares the “cringey” habits Gen Z loves to mock, the nostalgia that shaped our childhoods, and why millennial moms are actually crushing this whole parenting thing—one chaotic carpool at a time.

In this episode, you'll laugh and nod along as we cover:

• The top things Gen Z thinks are so cringe (yes, your side part made the list)
• Why skinny jeans are a hill we’re willing to die on
• How millennial moms are parenting Gen Alpha kids with humor and healing
• A throwback list: You Know You’re a Millennial If… (spoiler: it includes Lisa Frank, TGIF, and burning CDs)
• A heartfelt pep talk reminding moms that we’re not cringe—we’re classic

Who should listen?

• Millennial moms born between 1981–1996
• Anyone who grew up with dial-up internet, Dunkaroos, and emotional attachments to boy bands
• Moms looking for laughter, connection, and a dose of mom-realness
