What happens when cultural expectations collide with modern motherhood? German mom Janina’s story will break your heart and open your eyes to the impossible standards moms face, no matter where they live.

From being brutally shamed for her “chunky” exclusively breastfed baby (with suggestions to give a 7-month-old TEA instead of milk) to discovering the shocking differences between European and American food regulations, Janina’s experience reveals how judgment follows moms across continents. Her honest admission about her own screen time judgment - before finding herself in that exact situation - offers a powerful lesson about empathy and assumptions.

This conversation dives deep into the cultural pressures that make parents feel like failures, the society that creates problems it then blames parents for, and why we need to normalize children being children in public spaces. Whether you’re navigating cross-cultural parenting, struggling with judgment, or trying to build your identity beyond motherhood, Janina’s wisdom and vulnerability will resonate deeply.

Perfect for moms who are tired of impossible standards and ready for honest conversations about the realities of raising children in a world full of opinions.
