Ever feel like you're doing all the right parenting things—being gentle, meeting every emotional need, creating magical childhoods—yet still ending up overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure if it’s even working?

In this episode, I’m joined by parenting coach and founder of Hi Fam, Avital Schreiber Levy, who’s here to challenge the modern parenting trends that leave moms burnt out and kids emotionally fragile. Avital offers a refreshing third way that’s neither permissive nor authoritarian—but rooted in confident, values-based leadership.

We talk about:

• Why “child-led everything” might be hurting our kids more than helping
• What children actually crave from their parents (hint: it’s not constant entertainment)
• How to build a strong family culture that your kids will want to recreate
• The truth about mom guilt—and how to let it go
• What it means to future-proof your kids against anxiety, confusion, and internet overload
• Simple ways to start leading your family with calm, clarity, and confidence

Whether your home feels a little chaotic right now or you’re just tired of second-guessing every parenting decision, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, encouraged, and ready to reclaim your role as the heart of your family.

Have you ever wondered why there are so FEW skincare products tailored specifically for boys? This week on Burnt Pancakes, I unravel the often-overlooked gender disparity in the skincare industry with Sabrina Yeville, the brilliant mind behind Gryme.

Sabrina shares her journey from being a beauty industry executive to pioneering a line of clean, age-appropriate personal care products for our young boys.

Together, we navigate the whirlwind adventure of balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship while tackling the challenge of raising boys who are constantly on the move yet in need of safe and effective hygiene solutions.

Join us as we discuss fragrances in children's skincare, a topic most of us have never considered deeply.

Sabrina courageously reveals the intricacies of formulating her products, touching upon the difficulties she faced when working with fragrance suppliers and the myths surrounding natural scents.

Her commitment to transparency and safety while crafting appealing products for boys is nothing short of inspiring.

Our conversation is filled with laughter and heartfelt moments as Sabrina and I share our entrepreneurial journeys, with all the bumps and victories along the way. From the joys of creating a product line that resonates with our values to the challenges of juggling business with family life, we cover it all.
