In this raw and unfiltered episode of Zen, Grit, and a Dash of Mischief, Andres gets real about one of the toughest balancing acts parents face: knowing when to push forward and when to let go. From toddler tantrums to teenage transitions, we dive deep into the emotional tension of parenting with heart and wisdom.

Andres dismantles the toxic myths of grit-at-all-costs and martyr-parenting, offering vulnerable stories, insightful reflections, and practical emotional self-care strategies. You’ll learn how to spot red flags that signal it's time to release, recognize when persistence still serves you, and reclaim your own identity in the messy beauty of raising kids.

This episode is your permission slip to redefine resilience—not as blind endurance, but as discerning courage. Whether you're at a parenting crossroads or simply feeling the burnout, this conversation will challenge, comfort, and inspire you to lead your family (and yourself) with truth, tenderness, and tenacity.
