What changes when you stop performing “good parenting” for others and focus on what works for your family?
In this episode, Melissa and Esther talk with prolific content creator Shawna Lander about the messy, funny, and deeply human realities of becoming a mom. Get ready to unpack how becoming a mother transformed Shawna’s identity and career, leading her to write hilarious and honest skits about the real-life struggles no one prepares you for.
Shawna Lander is the hilarious mind behind the “Shawnaverse,” where her sharp, heartfelt mom-skits help parents feel seen in all their messy glory. She’s an actor, writer, mom, and cancer survivor.

(06:47) How seeing your child as a whole human changes the way you handle tough moments.

(12:18) How understanding someone’s upbringing can completely shift how you interpret their parenting style.
(15:45) Why encouraging autonomy in young kids sets them up for stronger self-identity later on.
(18:12) How to parent through major life challenges.
