What if the hardest part of parenting isn't understanding your child...it's understanding yourself?

This week, Allyn sits down with parenting coach, TEDx speaker, former preschool teacher, and founder of Parenting on Mars, Rachael Fritz, for one of the most honest conversations yet about what really shapes the way we raise our kids.

From yelling and emotional triggers to sibling conflict, public meltdowns, and the pressure to be the "perfect" parent, this episode explores why so many of our parenting instincts aren't actually about our children—they're reflections of our own childhoods.

Together they discuss how to break generational patterns without expecting perfection, why self-awareness matters more than parenting hacks, and practical tools that can immediately make life at home a little calmer.
