The Parenting Wisdom
The Parenting Wisdom Podcast is a place where we explore parenting from a truly holistic perspective. I believe that a wise parent is one who asks questions, keeps an open mind, and also trusts their deep inner knowing.
Here, we integrate insights from psychology, sociology, holistic medicine, child development science, philosophy, and ancient wisdom. Because there is no single “right” way to parent — each of us is unique, and every child is a unique soul.
The guiding principle of The Parenting Wisdom Podcast is that parents are their children’s leaders. And as leaders, we must be both humble and courageous as we raise children who will grow into independent, resilient, and fulfilled human beings — ready to share their unique gifts and live lives of meaning and purpose.
We believe that our children are strong and capable, and that challenges are part of their growth. Our role is to let them face those challenges while remaining their safe haven — the steady presence they can always count on, no matter what.

Realistic Compassion – An Answer to Mother’s Suffering! An Interview with Anat Zuria.
In this episode, I sit down with Anat Zuria, an acclaimed Israeli filmmaker and deep thinker, to explore a significant factor in the maternal mental health crisis overwhelming American mothers today—unrealistic expectations. We discuss the harmful narratives and societal pressures that leave mothers feeling inadequate and burned out, and Anat offers a powerful antidote: realistic compassion. While compassion is essential, she emphasizes that it must exist within a framework of realistic, sustainable expectations for mothers.
About Anat Zuria
Anat Zuria is a celebrated film writer and director, known for bringing deeply personal and thought-provoking stories to the screen. Her award-winning documentaries, including Purity and Black Bus, explore identity, faith, gender, and cultural dynamics, sparking meaningful global conversations.
Now, Anat is turning her lens toward one of today’s most urgent issues—America’s maternal mental health crisis. In collaboration with Emmy-winning sound editor Lidia Tamplenizza, she is developing Women Under the Influence, a documentary examining how societal structures and expectations contribute to the struggles of modern mothers. Inspired by the 2024 U.S. Surgeon General’s report, which revealed that 41% of parents feel "too stressed to function," the film brings together voices from families, healthcare professionals, social scientists, and policymakers to create a comprehensive portrait of contemporary motherhood in America.
Beyond filmmaking, Anat is a deep thinker and facilitator, integrating insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and her own lived experiences. I first met her through a women’s circle she facilitated with her daughter, where her profound understanding of parenting, spirituality, and personal transformation immediately stood out.
Join us as we challenge harmful myths, redefine self-compassion, and explore how mothers can find freedom through realistic expectations.
