Juggling motherhood, weather, and confidence with Kate Thornton
Kate Thornton, an Emmy-winning meteorologist for News Channel 9 in Syracuse, joins the conversation to talk about life as a working mom of three daughters. This episode covers helping daughters navigate body image and social pressure, and teaching children not to fear thunderstorms by understanding the science behind them. We discuss practical parenting strategies, the challenge of modeling confidence on television, and how Kate turns weather education into a kid-friendly lesson on safety and preparedness.
