In this video, we explore the "Parenting Paradox." If you grew up as a latchkey kid—drinking from the garden hose and staying out until the streetlights came on—your brain was wired for hyper-independence. Today, that exact childhood is causing you to overparent, leading to extreme exhaustion, mom guilt, and dad guilt. We break down the neuroscience of your cortisol addiction and how your nervous system is reacting to the modern digital world.
It's time to break the 1980s curse and learn how to stop overcompensating so you can finally breathe.
