Next-generation parenting

This one is deep. Vanessa and Steph explore their rich family histories, how they were parented, and their approach to mothering from what they learned from their parents. Both come from immigrant households but have very different family stories. They explore intergenerational trauma and what they learned from their childhood.

This episode features a few surprise guests: Steph’s cat, Nala, and Vanessa’s tears (she doesn’t usually cry, people!)
