Have you ever felt the tug-of-war between nurturing your child's independence and the instinct to take the reins? Our friend, Rose Chang, scientist, entrepreneur, and mother, joins us to share her riveting journey through the intricate maze of modern parenting. Together, we peel back the layers of laughter, tears, and the invaluable lessons learned along the way.

Having just navigated the college application process with her high school senior, we discuss the tightrope walk of supporting our children's educational endeavors without succumbing to the obsession of online grade tracking or imposing our own collegiate aspirations. Our candid conversation reveals the emotional rollercoaster of ensuring our kids are prepared for adulthood, while still allowing them room to stumble, learn, and grow.

Wrapping up, we consider the subtle influences of our own upbringings on our parenting styles and confront the societal pressures to define success for our children. Rose's stories of balancing the demands of raising a teenager with the responsibilities of a clinical research consultancy during a pandemic will resonate with anyone juggling multiple roles. Whether your kiddos are 2, 12, or 17, this episode will build your thinking!
