Hover Less, Chill More: Finding Your Parenting Sweet Spot

In this episode of Good Mom , Sunny and Lindsay get real about the hovering vs. hands-off parenting debate. From helicopter moms who won’t let their kids out of sight to parents who (oops) aren’t quite sure where their kids are—this conversation covers it all!

Sunny shares her own journey of letting her oldest ride an e-bike to school (spoiler: it wasn’t easy!), while Lindsay recounts a powerful story about how over-parenting can actually crush a kid’s confidence. The duo dives into why letting kids fall—and get back up—is critical for raising independent humans. And yes, they even manage to sneak in a little wisdom about energy, manifestation, and the power of letting go. 🙌
