This week, Sunny 🙋‍♀️ and Lindsay 💬 dive into the oh-so-relatable parent problem: What happens when you miss a BIG moment in your child’s life—and how to handle the guilt without drowning in it.

💡 Episode Highlights:

  • 🎂 The Birthday That Wasn't – Sunny shares how she missed her oldest son's 15th birthday party 🎉… and the creative (and slightly backfired) way she tried to make it special from afar.

  • 🏈 Football vs. Family Time – The tricky choices kids make… and the ripple effects parents have to watch them navigate.

  • 🛑 Ban the “Should” – Lindsay’s take on why the word should is a hidden guilt-trap for parents everywhere.

  • 💪 Choosing YOU – Why sometimes, putting your own needs first is not only okay… it’s healthy for the whole family.

  • 🎯 Life Lessons in Disguise – Teaching kids about priorities, consequences, and that sometimes we all miss stuff.

🎧 Takeaway: Missing a big moment doesn’t make you a bad parent—it’s part of real life. 💕 Sometimes, the lesson your child learns from the missed event is more valuable than your presence at it.
