Summer’s a great time to slow down, reflect, and revisit some of the most powerful parenting conversations—and that’s exactly what we’re doing in the Summer Rewind Series. This week, we’re revisiting an honest and relatable episode all about navigating parenting when you and your partner don’t exactly see eye to eye.


If you’ve ever felt like you’re parenting on an island—one partner leaning into gentle, respectful approaches while the other pushes for punishments or control—you’re not alone. In this episode, Dr. Hilary is joined by fellow licensed therapist Bryana Kappadakunnel to unpack why these differences feel so triggering, how to handle disagreement with compassion, and the single most important thing couples can do daily to create alignment.


Because here’s the truth: it’s not your job to “fix” or “convert” your partner. But when you shift from control to curiosity and connection, the whole dynamic can change. Tune in for insight, validation, and some practical tools that just might help you find your way back to the same page.
