    In this episode of Caffeinated Chaos, we’re diving into the beautifully chaotic reality of parenting, relationships, and business. From the magic of noise-canceling kitty headphones to the never-ending debate about vacations without kids, we’re talking about the real side of family life—far from those picture-perfect Instagram feeds.

    Joining me today are Sascha and Jonathan Schlossberg—TV and film actors, 2-Comma Club-winning marketers, and homeschooling parents of four (soon to be five!) kids under nine. These two are absolute powerhouses when it comes to blending marketing, mindset, manifestation, and mysticism to help their clients expand their lives and businesses in alignment with their values. In their spare time (yes, somehow they have some), they shoot family commercials, tackle arts and crafts projects, and Jonathan is training for his next half-marathon while Sascha is pregnant with their fifth (and last!) baby.

    We unpack the challenges of balancing work, mental health, and ever-evolving family dynamics. We also share parenting hacks, AirTag tricks, and the raw truth about what it really takes to juggle business, kids, and everything in between.

    Key Topics Covered:
    ✅ Setting boundaries with extended family around childcare
    ✅ The ongoing debate: Kid-free vacations vs. full-family adventures
    ✅ Parenting neurodivergent, highly intelligent kids & adapting expectations
    ✅ AirTag hacks for keeping track of little wanderers
    ✅ Reverse psychology, gamifying chores, and other clever parenting tricks
    ✅ The reality of balancing work, business, and family without losing your mind

  • 16. Mental Health Matters: How to Protect Your Peace
    2025/01/30

    Send us a text

    Welcome back to Caffeinated Chaos! This week, we’re diving into a topic close to my heart: mental health as a parent and entrepreneur. Life as a parentpreneur is a beautiful, chaotic mess—but let’s be real, it can take a toll on your peace of mind. Today, we’re getting honest about how to hold it all together and why taking care of yourself is essential for your success in business and at home.

    The Reality of Parentpreneur Life

    • Balancing a business, kids, and the endless to-do list.
    • Why trying to be “everything to everyone” doesn’t work (and what to do instead).

    My Journey with Mental Health

    • From falling in love with psychology to 8+ years in behavioral management.
    • How I recognized burnout and made a change for my well-being.


    5 Practical Tips to Protect Your Peace:

    • Set Boundaries Like a Pro: Define your work hours and stick to them. When the workday ends, log off, put your phone down, and give yourself permission to be off.
    • Practice Mindful Moments: Take short breaks to breathe, stretch, or listen to your favorite song. These small moments of calm make a big difference.
    • Outsource or Delegate: You don’t have to do it all. Whether it’s hiring help for your business or asking for support at home, let go of what doesn’t need your direct attention.
    • Create a No-Guilt Self-Care Routine: Self-care isn’t selfish! Find simple ways to recharge—whether it’s a quiet walk, a favorite hobby, or a few uninterrupted minutes to yourself.
    • Talk About It: Don’t bottle up your feelings. Share with friends, fellow parentpreneurs, or even a therapist. Connection and communication are key to processing stress.


    You are enough. You don’t need to be perfect or do it all. Prioritizing your mental health isn’t selfish—it’s necessary to thrive.

  • 15. Talking Mental Health and Being a Stay At Home Dad with Guest Colin Cerniglia
    2025/01/27

    Send us a text

    In this heartfelt and honest episode, Colin shares his journey of transitioning from a high-stress corporate job to becoming a stay-at-home dad. What started as an offhand comment to his wife turned into one of the most challenging yet rewarding decisions of his life. We discuss:

    • The toxic work environment that pushed him to rethink his priorities.
    • The struggles of balancing work and unreliable childcare for our two young daughters.
    • The mental and emotional challenges of leaving behind a corporate career
    • How therapy helped him navigate the difficult transition and process his new identity.
    • The joy and fulfillment of prioritizing family and fully embracing the role of a stay-at-home dad.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Prioritizing your family doesn’t mean giving up on your passions—it’s about finding a new rhythm.
    • Transitioning into a new role, especially one outside societal norms, takes time and mental adjustment.
    • It’s okay to ask for help, seek therapy, and take things one step at a time.

  • 10. Social Media Parenting: Navigating Advice Overload Without Losing Your Mind
    2025/01/09

    Send us a text

    Welcome back to Caffeinated Chaos! Today, we're diving into something every parent has likely done: turning to social media for parenting advice. From 3 AM Google searches to TikTok tips on tantrums, social media has become the go-to resource for quick parenting solutions. But with endless opinions and the risk of judgment, how do we navigate this space without losing our minds?

    In this episode, I share:
    - Why it's okay to seek advice online — but how to avoid feeling judged or overwhelmed.
    - Four actionable tips to help you navigate the sea of parenting content, including how to vet your sources, set boundaries, and take advice that aligns with your parenting style.
    - Practical tools and strategies like parenting books, local support groups, and creating a curated list of advice to avoid decision fatigue.
    - The importance of following influencers who uplift rather than judge, and knowing when to hit "unfollow."

    Social media is a helpful tool, but remember, no one knows your child better than you. Trust your instincts, Parentpreneurs!
