The Party Era vs Real Life + A Story That Will Change You

Spring is finally here, and this episode goes from wild throwbacks to real-life conversations we’re all thinking about.We sit down with Chad and Jazmine Faries from the documentary Iron Family, sharing Jazmine’s incredible journey living with Down syndrome, her confidence, resilience, and her dream of becoming a storyteller. Her story, and the strength of her family, is something everyone needs to hear, especially following Down Syndrome Awareness Day.  Then… we shift gears.  After a weekend event in the city, LaLa shares a moment that sparked a full throwback to the early 2000’s, when partying Thursday through Sunday and still making it to work was just normal life.But what really gets us talking… Kids are hitting their parents?!  We’re seeing more and more of this behavior being labeled as “gentle parenting,” and we honestly can’t believe some parents are just accepting it. When did this become normal? And what happened to discipline and respect?
This episode is a mix of inspiration, nostalgia, and real, unfiltered conversations about how much things have changed.
