Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also messy, complicated, and full of contradictions. We love our kids more than anything, yet we’re exhausted. We give endlessly, but still need space for ourselves. We show patience one moment and lose it the next. In this episode, we open up about the duality of motherhood, the push and pull between joy and struggle, selflessness and self-care, and how embracing both sides can help us feel less alone in the journey.

Gina shares how she blends food, family, and storytelling to create spaces that nourish more than just our appetites.

If you’ve ever wanted to infuse your life with more intention, flavor, and connection, this conversation will leave you inspired (and maybe a little hungry).

217. The End of Gentle Parenting? Natural Consequences & “FAFO” Parenting Sep 10, 2025

Show notes

Is gentle parenting officially over? After years of dominating parenting books and Instagram feeds, many moms and dads are embracing a new-old philosophy: “F Around and Find Out” parenting. Instead of constant negotiating, this approach leans into natural consequences, letting kids learn by doing (and sometimes failing). In this episode, we dig into why gentle parenting resonated, why some parents are moving on, and what it really means to balance empathy with boundaries.
