In “S2E9: allegedly, we're parenting our parents?!“ we hit on a much-requested topic: parenting. While none of us asked to be here, all of us are here… in other words, we all have parents! Whether they be biological, adoptive, step, or chosen, our parents have a major influence on us, for better or for worse. In this episode, we touch on navigating toxic parents, the demands of parenthood, and healing your inner child. Furthermore, we discuss how, as a society, we often wade into eugenicist territory when we discuss/determine “fit” for parenthood. Tune in as we ask ourselves about the effects of the nuclear family on parenting and childhood, as well as what it means to break generational curses (read: trauma). We hope you enjoy!
