Ep 110 - ”I Would Never": Expectations vs. Everyday Reality
<p>What's the one thing you swore you’d never do before you actually had to live it?</p><p>In this episode, we’re taking a hard, funny, and deeply honest look at our biggest "I would never" assumptions about parenting, marriage, and life, and exactly how reality brought us back down to earth.</p><p>From the rigid rules we thought we'd enforce to the expectations we placed on our relationships, we explore the messy gap between who we thought we would be and who we actually are. It turns out that growth doesn't happen when we get everything right; it happens when we have the humility to admit where we were wrong.</p><p>Join us as we talk about balancing expectations with everyday reality, building authentic friendships that can handle the real stuff, and why letting go of perfection is the best thing you can do for your family.</p><p>In this episode, we cover:</p><p>- The parenting and marriage myths we bought into (and had to unlearn)</p><p>- Why admitting you're wrong is a superpower in relationships</p><p>- How to build authentic friendships based on reality, not perfection</p><p>- Balancing high expectations with the chaotic daily reality of life</p><p>- The role of humility and self-awareness in personal growth</p><p><br></p><p>This conversation is a gentle reminder that it is okay to change your mind, lower your standards for the sake of your sanity, and extend yourself a little more grace.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/itneedstobesaid.thepodcast/">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@itneedstobesaid.podcast?lang=en">TikTok</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/itneedstobesaidthepodcast">Patreon</a></p><p>Thanks so much for your support xoxo</p>

Ep 109 - BY the people, FOR for the people
<p>Motherhood, smartwatches, cold sores, the mental load, beige homes, and teaching kids to do hard things... somehow it all makes sense in this episode.</p><p>After a little break from the mic, we're back with a classic sister catch-up, diving into everything from the realities of parenting and running businesses to the way technology is quietly reshaping our everyday lives. We unpack listener submissions from The Mom Market, debate the "father load" conversation, discuss why modern life feels increasingly disconnected from colour and creativity, and explore what it means to raise resilient kids in a world built for convenience.</p><p>We also get honest about the parts of motherhood that don't always make the highlight reel, including the moments when parenting feels hard, overwhelming, or just plain exhausting.</p><p>This episode is full of laughs, tangents, listener contributions, and the kind of conversations that make you feel like you're sitting down with friends over coffee.</p><p>In this episode:<br>• The Mom Market and hearing from our community<br>• Motherhood, business, and why it's not always either/or<br>• The impact of technology on our attention and relationships<br>• The father load vs the mental load debate<br>• Why colour seems to be disappearing from modern life<br>• Teaching kids to embrace challenge and discomfort<br>• The honest realities of parenting</p><p>As always, we're keeping it real.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/itneedstobesaid.thepodcast/">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@itneedstobesaid.podcast?lang=en">TikTok</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/itneedstobesaidthepodcast">Patreon</a></p><p>Thanks so much for your support xoxo</p>

Ep 108 - God’s design for Sex: Raising Kids Today | Guest Episode (Patricia Weerakoon)
<p>How do we raise children with wisdom, confidence, and a secure sense of identity in a world that is constantly discipling them through screens?</p><p>In the final episode of our series with Patricia Weerakoon, we step into one of the biggest challenges facing parents, churches, and young people today: navigating sex, identity, pornography, and culture in the digital age.</p><p>Patricia brings both a clinical and biblical perspective as we explore how identity is formed, why today’s conversations around sexuality feel so overwhelming, and how parents can move from fear-based reactions to calm, intentional leadership.</p><p>We talk honestly about the reality that many children will encounter explicit content far earlier than previous generations, and why preparation matters more than panic. Patricia also explains what’s happening in the adolescent brain during identity formation and how parents can build trust, resilience, and discernment in their children over time.</p><p>Rather than seeing these conversations as one awkward “talk,” this episode reframes them as a lifelong dialogue grounded in truth, safety, and relationship.</p><p>In this episode, we cover:</p><ul><li>Raising children in a hyper-sexualised digital culture</li><li>Helping kids build identity beyond sexuality and self-expression</li><li>Gender identity conversations through both a biblical and scientific lens</li><li>What’s happening in the adolescent brain during identity formation</li><li>Why pornography exposure is becoming increasingly unavoidable</li><li>What to do if your child has already seen explicit content</li><li>Age-appropriate ways to talk about sex, bodies, and boundaries</li><li>Building discernment, not just rules</li><li>How to hold both truth and compassion in cultural conversations</li><li>Raising kids who are secure, wise, and grounded in God’s design</li></ul><p>This conversation is thoughtful, practical, and deeply relevant for parents, mentors, youth leaders, and anyone trying to navigate today’s cultural landscape with both conviction and grace.</p><p>Thank you for joining us for this special series with Patricia Weerakoon. Our hope is that these conversations help you approach sex, identity, relationships, and parenting with less fear, more wisdom, and a deeper confidence in God’s design.</p><p><strong>About Patricia Weerakoon</strong><br>Patricia Weerakoon is a medical doctor, sexologist, author, and speaker. She served for over 20 years as an academic at the University of Sydney, where she directed a globally recognised graduate program in sexual health.</p><p>As an evangelical Christian, Patricia is passionate about integrating biblical truth with contemporary science to help people understand sex, relationships, and identity in a healthy, life-giving way.</p><p><strong>Find Patricia online:</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="patriciaweerakoon.com">patriciaweerakoon.com</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClcyfkocFQXJW55TbFaAwQA">Patricia Weerakoon</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="">@weerakoonauthor</a></p><p>Twitter: @kamalini</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
