About this episode
Sterling discusses the challenges and uncertainties of raising kids in the current climate.
Something feels off right now — and you're not imagining it. In this unplanned episode, Sterling sits down to say out loud what so many moms are feeling but don't have language for: it is genuinely weird to be raising kids right now. In this episode: Why so many of us feel unsettled but can't articulate it What skills actually matter to teach our kids when we can't see the future Why scrolling to cope makes total sense (and how to stop beating yourself up for it) The one thing we can hold onto when everything feels uncertain You don't need a perfect plan for this season. You need someone to say "me too" — and remind you that He wins in the end. Check out our mother/daughter pilgrimage to France: https://catholicmomcalm.com/france/ NEW!
