Wit and wisdom, some smart assery, and a Mother and Daughter questioning “Are we even related?”
What happened to the village that once raised our children? In this provocative mother-daughter conversation, we tackle the controversial reality of modern family support systems and why they've fundamentally changed across generations.
Growing up in the 60s and 70s, the traditional ”village” meant grandparents who gladly stepped in after school, neighbors who watched out for each other's children, and extended family who remained deeply connected to daily life. Fast forward to today, and something fundamental has shifted. We dive fearlessly into why this support system has crumbled – from the rise of divorce that fractured family networks to the financial realities forcing both parents to work full-time while children are raised in daycare.
The uncomfortable truth? Both of us discuss our own family dynamics and hold nothing back! Perhaps most importantly, we examine consciously breaking ”generational curses” – rejecting toxic family dynamics that were previously tolerated in the name of family obligation, even when it meant further fragmenting traditional support systems.
Join our candid conversation that bridges generational perspectives as we explore the challenges of modern parenting and how we might rebuild meaningful support networks for today's families. Subscribe, leave a review, and share your thoughts with us at [email protected]!
