EP:161 Hey there, it’s Brooke! In this episode of the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Caitlin Murray from Big Time Adulting for a raw, honest, and hilarious deep-dive into the real life of modern parenting. We jump right in—talking about what it means to be an authentic parent, letting go of perfection, and why sometimes, it’s OK to just laugh at the chaos.
Caitlin opens up about her journey as a mom to a childhood cancer survivor, how those challenging years taught her to trust her instincts, and navigating the world of gentle parenting without losing her sense of self (or humor). We also discuss the realities of parenting through a pandemic and how motherhood changes as we move through our 30s and 40s—including hormonal shifts and the importance of self-care.
We get into why social media can be both a lifeline and a landmine for moms, and how the pressure to always get it “right” can actually hold us back. If you’re ever doubting yourself as a parent or feeling overwhelmed by parenting advice, this episode is here to remind you: YOU are enough. Trust your gut, embrace the messy moments, and don’t forget to take care of yourself along the way.
