You're exhausted. You're overwhelmed. You're spinning too many plates, and somehow it still never feels like enough.

You haven't had a day off since you've had kids. You can't complain because you might sound ungrateful. You can't admit you're struggling because someone will tell you to "cherish every moment".

And you definitely can't judge yourself for your shortcomings. Society will helpfully do that for you.

So what do you do?

You keep calm and carry on.

Or...

You rant.

Welcome to PARANTING with Gizelle, the podcast where ranting is allowed. Encouraged, even.

The takeaway

  • PARANTING with Gizelle is about the realities of modern parenthood that nobody warned us about.
  • The expectations. The judgement. The contradictions. The things we're told we're supposed to enjoy. And all the things parents think but don't always say out loud.
  • It's cathartic, curious, and unapologetic.
  • In essence, we love our children. We don't necessarily love the bullshit surrounding modern parenthood.

Because we can love our children fiercely and question the culture we've created around parenting. Whether you're simply winging it (like most of us) or trying your best whilst figuring out the rest, this one is for you.
