Live From Snack Time: The Power of Listening to Children with Alyssa Tucker

In this fun and honest conversation, Tara and Alyssa Tucker join the show live from Snack Time with pretzels and all. Alyssa shares the story behind her popular Instagram account, Live From Snack Time, which is all about listening to children and capturing their unfiltered, laugh-out-loud moments (kindergarteners really do say the most brutally honest things!).

Tara and Alyssa chat about how every stage of childhood comes with its own unique joys and challenges, and how infertility can lead families down unexpected paths, like surrogacy and the idea of “twiblings” (siblings born super close together, sometimes through different pregnancies). They also explore the power of sharing personal stories to create community, and the double-edged sword of social media and how it can bring both pressure and support.

Throughout the conversation, there's a big emphasis on keeping it real: embracing authenticity over perfection, recognizing that kids hit similar milestones no matter where they are in the world, and leaning on community support when parenting gets tough. Live From Snack Time reminds us all to take a moment, listen, and learn from the unique voices of the next generation.
