DamGoode Book Club 2) Real Talk on "The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read"

We all enter parenthood with a vision of how we’ll raise our children, but what happens when exhaustion and reality take over? In this installment of the DamGoode Book Club, our resident librarian and writer, Elizabeth, revisits the influential book The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read. Having first read it during pregnancy, Elizabeth shares how her perspective has shifted now that her daughter is one.

Alongside Eva and Maren, we take a warm, honest, and direct look at the gap between parenting ideals and the daily survival of sleepless nights. This isn't just a book review; it’s a conversation about cultural perspectives, emotional triggers, and the camaraderie of doing our best. Whether you’ve read every page or haven't had a spare second to pick up a book, this episode offers vital takeaways on connection and breaking old patterns. Join the conversation on Instagram and tell us: which parenting books actually changed the way you show up for your kids?
