In this heartfelt episode of Chasing Balance, we dive deep into the fascinating contrast between how we were raised and how we're raising our own children. Through personal stories, reflections, and a bit of humor, we explore how generational shifts, societal changes, and evolving parenting philosophies have shaped our approach to family life.

From discipline and emotional support to the traditions we've chosen to carry on (and those we've chosen to break), we unpack how our childhood experiences influence our parenting decisions today. We also share how we're adapting our approach to fit the modern landscape of technology, mental health awareness, and social media, while still holding on to core values like kindness, respect, and hard work.

Join us as we reflect on the lessons of the past, discuss what we've chosen to change, and share the hopes and dreams we have for our kids' futures. Parenting is a journey, and there’s no “one right way” to navigate it—just a constant balancing act between what we’ve learned and how we continue to grow.

Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on the evolution of parenting and the delicate balance between tradition and change.

What if the biggest source of your suffering isn’t the world around you, but the thoughts inside your own mind? In this episode of Chasing Balance, we dive into the powerful insights from Don't Believe Everything You Think and explore how overthinking keeps us stuck, anxious, and disconnected from our true selves.

You'll learn:

• The difference between pain vs. suffering (and how to stop making life harder than it needs to be).
• Why you’re already enough—and the mindset shift that changes everything.
• The hidden cost of overanalyzing and how thoughts create, but thinking destroys.
• A simple, practical method (PAUSE) to quiet your mind and break free from overthinking.
• How to follow your intuition and set goals from inspiration rather than fear.

If you're tired of the mental noise and ready to embrace more clarity, peace, and freedom—this episode is for you.
