Add to Cart: Accepting Your Own Parenting Journey

Kulap Vilaysack and SuChin Pak, hosts of the new Lemonada Media podcast Add to Cart, talk about what they’re adding to their metaphorical shopping cart when it comes to raising good humans: hope, surrender, and forgiveness. Kulap reflects on her complicated relationship with her mother, and opens up about her struggle to become a mother herself. SuChin talks candidly about her experience with self-inflicted mom-guilt. “I spent most of my time as a parent feeling really guilty and ashamed because I didn't really like being a parent. And so I had to come to the hard realization – and the freeing realization – that I could love my kids but not really love being a parent.”    You can follow Kulap Vilaysack on Twitter @Kulap and on Instagram @iamkulap.    Keep up with SuChin Pak on Twitter @suchinpak and on Instagram @suchinpak.    Support the show by checking out our sponsors!
