Council of Moms

AI is everywhere and somehow our kids seem to understand it better than we do. When one mom wonders what parents our age are actually supposed to teach kids about AI (especially when they’re still figuring it out themselves), Lisa and her Council of Moms (Emilie Campbell, Julie Suazo, and Michelle Love-Day) share how to start the conversation, what kids really need to understand about AI, and how parents can guide their kids through new technology without needing to be the experts.

Allowance disappears. Venmo requests appear. And somehow that thing on TikTok Shop becomes a “need.” When one mom wonders how to raise teenagers who can actually support themselves someday (and maybe start spending their own money now) Lisa, Allison Dayton, Juhi Raizada, and Steffani Raff share their thoughts. They talk about teaching teens the value of work, setting boundaries around spending, and helping kids build the habits that lead to real financial independence.

When the bickering never seems to stop and someone is always running to you in tears, it can feel impossible to know whether to step in or step back. Lisa is joined by Whitney Call, Julie Suazo, and Juhi Raizada to respond to a mom who’s caught between protecting her kids and wanting them to learn how to work things out on their own. From tattling to full-blown meltdowns, the moms share practical guidance on when to intervene, how to stay calm, and how to turn sibling conflict into an opportunity for growth.

Everyone else seems to know about that free class, that program, or that community thing, and somehow you missed the memo. If you’ve ever wondered where all these magical resources are hiding, you’re not alone. Lisa and her council of moms, Geraldine “G” Fitisemanu, Erika Price, and Wendy Mar, talk about why parenting resources can feel so invisible, how moms actually find them, and where to start when you don’t even know what to search for.

Parenting gurus love to say “just let it go,” but seldom do they get specific about what exactly you’re supposed to let go, or how to deal with the aftermath when you do. When letting everything go feels like letting your whole house fall apart, the Council steps in. Lisa and her Council of Moms-- Julie Taylor, Emilie Campbell, and Sunny Mahe talk honestly about holding firm to your principles and loosening your grip on the things that don’t matter as much--and how to know the difference between the two. They discuss circumstances where different kids require different expectations, how values can be your guiding light, and how to raise happy kids without carrying constant stress.
