Episode 4: Breaking the Parenting Mold - Redefining Roles & Reclaiming Sanity with Kayla Huszar
In Episode 4 of the Unfiltered Therapists podcast, Kindred Roots’ Clinic Director, Allegra Taylor spoke to Kayla Huszar, a fellow Alberta-based social worker and host of the podcast “Chill Like a Mother” to discuss the parenting challenges that stem from traditional gender roles, the division of domestic labour, and sharing the mental load that comes with parenting.
Kayla is on a mission to empower women and parents to “be chill” throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and throughout the parenting journey. In this episode, she offers practical insights and strategies on how to design a healthy partnership, break free from societal expectations, and find your own path to balance.
She even tells Allegra, as someone who is still considering parenthood, to “start now” to invite the conversations that will define a relationship that offers balance and will allow each parent to still have time and energy to keep the parts of themselves that attracted their partner in the first place.
Whether you’re a parent, soon-to-be parent, or just curious about reshaping the narrative around parenting roles, this episode is a must-listen.
“I’ve listened and now I need help to apply it to my life!”
