“In today’s age, every time there is a problem, we will look up the solution to it, look at how others dealt with it, and follow that rather than trusting ourselves. Most of the time, if you take the time to navigate it yourself you will get the answer that is true to yourself and your family.”
In this episode, Pros&Babes founder and CEO Kinia Romanowska is joined by Rachel Jones from Kepler Academy to discuss how to hold boundaries with intrusive friends and in-laws and how to find the answers you truly need within influencer advice.
Tune in to this episode to hear Kinia and Rachel’s advice on figuring out parenting in the 21st century, the impact of ‘sharenting’, and how to deal with unsolicited advice.
