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.

Modern Parenting: Business, Cultures, and Passions with Tanner Leatherstein - Episode 41
Join me in this insightful episode of Parenting Easy, as I sit down with Tanner Leatherstein. Together, we will discover he's inspiring journey from Turkey to the U.S., building a successful leather business, and creating a balanced home life. We will delve into managing cultural differences, working for yourself, and raising a family. We will also share valuable tips on maintaining a work-life balance, respecting traditions, and fostering strong family bonds.
A Journey Across Continents
Tanner looks back on his migration journey. He spotlights the diverse array of experiences that have shaped his perspective and entrepreneurial ambition. Moving countries and trying different jobs, has given him unwavering confidence to support himself.
The Leap to Entrepreneurship
Leaving a high-paying, comfortable consulting job to follow a passion for leather-making was not easy. Tanner admits the fear and uncertainty involved in convincing oneself of such a drastic career switch. However, he found unwavering support from his wife, who played a significant role in establishing their brand. This leap into entrepreneurship also coincided with the arrival of their first child, making the transition even more significant.
Balancing Work and Family Life
"I realized the problem was the ambition," Tanner confesses. Moving away from aggressive growth and focusing on what made him happy produced surprisingly fruitful results in his business. The practice of defining work hours, being fully present during family time, and not letting work bleed into personal life are key strategies Tanner employs to maintain balance.
Two Cultures, One Family
Tanner and his wife bring together Turkish and Taiwanese traditions, providing their children with a rich, multicultural upbringing. The children are fluent in three languages: English, Mandarin, and Turkish. Tanner emphasizes the importance of blending both cultures to create a harmonious family environment.
The differences in cultural upbringing are apparent, but they work together to take the best from both worlds. For instance, Tanner acknowledges his wife's emphasis on balanced meals and integrates that into their family’s routine.
