Are modern moms feeling empowered by parenting philosophies — or overwhelmed by them? In this episode, Steph speaks with Ola, a Montessori playgroup guide, kids physiotherapist, and mom of two, about finding clarity in a world full of advice.
Ola shares her journey from traditional teaching to Montessori education, the challenges she faced when welcoming a second child, and the moments that made her question everything she thought she knew about parenting. Through her story, we explore what happens when theory meets real life — and why trusting your own instincts matters more than any method.
In this episode:
• How Montessori supports children from 0–3
• Gentle parenting vs. authoritative approaches
• The trap of information overload
• Sibling rivalry and emotional adjustment
• Why quick fixes don’t work with kids
• A simple practice to reconnect with your child
• Learning to trust yourself again as a parent
This conversation is a comforting reminder that you know your child best, and that parenting becomes clearer when you tune in to your own voice instead of the noise.
