Please join us as we delve into the honest, unfiltered realities of raising children, where we embrace the messiness, mess-ups, and tribulations that come with the territory.
My name is Chananya [cha-nan-ya, when saying the "CH", pretend you have something stuck in your throat] Abraham, psychotherapist, parent to 5 amazing children, and parent advocate of embracing imperfections! This podcast offers a relatable and inclusive space for parents from all different cultures, nationalities, and religions. We believe that parenting is a universal journey, and it's okay to admit that we don't always have our s**t together. Please feel free to share tips and tricks that work for you and the best ways to hide that white wine or mixed drink without your kids knowing.
Each episode features engaging discussions and heartfelt stories from fellow parents who are navigating the unpredictable, yet amazing terrain of raising children. Our guests, ranging from “experts” to everyday moms and dads, share their personal experiences, insights, and strategies for surviving the challenging yet rewarding moments of parenthood.
But don't worry, we don't take ourselves too seriously. Laughter is the best medicine, and we sprinkle our conversations with plenty of humor, relatable anecdotes, and the occasional drink recipe. After all, a good sense of humor can be a lifesaver when facing those unexpected parenting curveballs.
Whether you're a first-time parent, a seasoned pro, or someone preparing for the wonderful chaos of parenthood, "Parenting is Easy, Said No One Ever" is here to remind you that it's normal to "mess up" and that perfection is not the goal. In fact, we believe that if you’re NOT messing up at least occasionally, YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG. Together, we celebrate the beauty in imperfection, embrace the shared struggles, and provide a supportive community where laughter and learning go hand in hand.
Tune in to our podcast and join the conversation as we navigate the twists and turns of parenting together. Remember, you're not alone in this crazy journey!

Fatherhood Unplugged: Mastering Balance, Goals, and Quality Time - Episode 31
Fatherhood is a journey filled with challenges, rewards, and the constant quest for balance. In a recent insightful conversation, we delved into the delicate balance of fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and the importance of self-care with our guest Purdeep Sangha.
#The Balance of Fatherhood
The need to redefine the concept of balance in parenting. Rather than just focusing on time management, it's essential to consider harmony – ensuring that the time, energy, and resources invested in various aspects of life align to create a harmonious existence.
Setting clear goals is another crucial aspect often overlooked in fatherhood. While we meticulously plan our professional endeavors, setting goals for our role as a father is equally important. Our brain responds to goals, directing resources accordingly towards our priorities.
#The Importance of Setting Goals as a Father
Quality over quantity was emphasized when it comes to spending time with our children. Being present and engaged, even in smaller time increments, can have a more significant impact than mere physical presence without engagement.
#Being Present for Your Children
Improving productivity and discipline were discussed as key elements in effective parenting. By optimizing our productivity in other areas of life, we can create more quality time for our families, emphasizing the importance of discipline in managing our time effectively.
#Improving Productivity and Discipline for Better Parenting
Transitioning from work to home requires a conscious effort to shift roles and mindsets. Creating rituals to ease this transition can help us show up as our best selves for our children, embodying the desired identity and goals for that specific role.
#Transitioning from Work to Home
Observation and mindfulness play crucial roles in parenting, especially as children grow older. Understanding a teenager's interests, needs, and communication styles enables more meaningful interactions and fosters stronger relationships.
# Closing Thoughts
In conclusion, the path of fatherhood is a dynamic journey that requires constant adaptation, self-care, and the pursuit of joy and purpose. By embracing these principles, fathers can cultivate fulfilling relationships with their children while balancing the demands of work and personal growth. Let's strive to nurture fatherhood with intention, mindfulness, and a commitment to self-improvement.
