How much should we share with our kids when life gets tough? 💭 Do we protect them from the heavy stuff 🛑… or let them in early so they can walk the journey with us? 🚶‍♀️❤️

In this episode, Lindsay and Sunny get real 🎤 about those tricky parenting moments when you’re not sure if it’s the “right time” ⏰ to spill the beans. From health scares 🏥 to big family moves 🚚 to the “D-word” (yes, divorce 😬💔), they share their own stories—the good ✅, the awkward 🙃, and the ones their kids still bring up decades later 😂.

✨ You’ll hear about:

  • The pros and cons of waiting to share a health diagnosis 🩺🤔.

  • Why sometimes telling your kids too early backfires (hello, endless family jokes 🤦‍♀️🤣).

  • How even the “perfect plan” 🎿🚗 for a big reveal can turn into a lifelong memory—for better or worse 📸🧠.

  • A reminder that… spoiler alert 🚨… there’s never really a perfect way to do it.

Parenting doesn’t come with a script 📖—but it sure makes for some heartfelt 💕 (and hilarious 😂) stories.

👉 What about you? Have you ever had to hold back information from your kids 🤫—or blurted it out too soon 🗣️
