Parenting Hot Takes + Having Hobbies as a Mom

Parenting hot takes + having hobbies as a mom? Yep, we’re doing both.In this episode, I’m answering your questions about unpopular parenting beliefs, including why I think learning the easy way is still learning, why rehearsals, jingles, play, and stories can be some of the best tools in your parenting toolbox, and why there’s probably no single “right” parenting style for every mom and every kid.We’ll also talk about one of the parenting reminders I’m constantly coming back to: you are accountable for you. Even when your kids are melting down, talking back, or making choices you don’t love, you’re still responsible for how you respond.Then we’re switching gears and talking about something that deserves way more attention in motherhood: having hobbies. How do you find something fun when you barely have any free time? How do you actually make yourself show up? And why does external accountability make such a huge difference?From acting and improv classes to pottery, crafts, pickleball, and everything in between, we’re taking the pressure off finding your “one true passion” and talking about a much more realistic way to bring fun back into your life.Basically: parenting doesn’t have to be harder than it needs to be—and neither does being a mom.FIND ME WHERE I OVERSHARE THE MOST:https://www.instagram.com/ashleigh.surratt/CONTACT:ashleigh@ashleighsurratt.comADVERTISE ON THE SHOW:To inquire about host-read ads or to become the show's next Presenting Sponsor, please send an email to ashleigh@nichetheagency.com.
