Podcast Description
Motherhood is chaos, and let’s be real—none of us actually know what we’re doing. Hosted by Victoria de la Fuente, a mom, fashion expert, and pro at winging it, Zillion Trillion is where you’ll find real talk about parenting without the sanctimommy nonsense. Each episode, Victoria chats with authors, friends, and other brilliant humans who also happen to be parents about the joys, the meltdowns, and the "is this normal?" moments of raising tiny humans. Think of it as a convo with the mom friend who keeps it brutally honest, slightly sarcastic, and 100% on your side. Because if we’re all just making it up as we go, we might as well do it together. zilliontrillion.substack.com

This week I’m talking with Joanna SchroederChristopher Pepper — the duo behind Talk to Your Boys, a book that every parent (or honestly, human) needs right now. Joanna’s essays on masculinity and media have appeared in The New York Times, Esquire, and The Atlantic. Christopher’s spent decades teaching sex ed and health to teenagers — which basically makes him an anthropologist of modern boyhood.
We get into all of it: why boys are shutting down, how to get them to actually talk, what porn and social media are teaching them before we do, and how to make the hard conversations feel a little less hard. It’s not preachy — it’s practical, funny, and very real. You cant miss this one!
What’s the hardest conversation you’ve ever had with your son — or the one you keep putting off?Let’s crowdsource some real talk in the comments
