Are all Parents "in Hell" like Chappel said? My thoughts...

About this episode

Kaitlyn shares her perspective on the challenges of parenting in response to Chappell Roan's comment about parents being 'in hell'.

Chappell Roan commented that parents are “in hell” a while back, and whie the internet reacted—some offended, some defensive, and some a little more objective, I thought I'd make an episode about my perspective! If you’ve ever felt trapped, resentful, or quietly unhappy while loving your kids beyond measure, this conversation will help you understand why—and potentially what to adjust.
