Moms, there’s no topic more popular amongst parents than sports! From the hectic schedules, to expensive equipment, and demanding travel, we pour a LOT into our kids’ athletics.Why?Well, we love watching our kids compete.But we’re also investing in our relationship with our kids and the future adults they will become.That’s why Jonathan Carone founded Healthy Sports Parents-a platform that’s amassed a cult following on his belief that youth sports are not about winning.Jonathan is a coach and father of two kids, based in North Carolina, who says sports are about building wiser, strong adults. In our conversation, he urges us to:* normalize failure; you win or you learn* stop feeling triggered by your kid’s performance* decipher whether a child really wants to quit a sport, or just needs a break* respectfully disagree with a coach rather than criticize* learn exactly what to say to your child on the car ride home from a gameJonathan will definitely have you thinking differently about your child’s next practice or game.You can find him on IG at @healthysportsparents, at his website healthysportsparents.com and the Healthy Sports Parents podcast.Find us at www.thelocalmomsnetwork.comIG: @thelocalmomsnetworkEmail: demetra@thelocalmomsnetwork.comPodcast facilities provided by Stamford Studios Digital Factory.

Hosted by Demetra Ganias-a writer and mother of three who’s navigating the same daily realities-MomCast is a conversation from the trenches of modern parenting. This podcast, from the Local Moms Network, moves beyond simple tips to explore the nuanced, often unspoken layers of family life, culture, and society that shape our days. Demetra guides honest talks with both leading experts and fellow moms who get it, tackling questions about child development, personal identity, and the balancing act that rarely feels balanced. The dialogue here is less about perfect answers and more about shared understanding, offering perspectives that resonate whether you’re in the car line or stealing a quiet moment. It’s a space where the complexities of raising kids intersect with everything else, acknowledging that motherhood is as much about the world we’re preparing our children for as it is about the snack currently ground into the car seat. Tune in for a genuine, sometimes messy, but always connecting look at this defining chapter. You’ll find a sense of community in this podcast, a feeling that someone is putting words to your own experience, making the journey feel a little less solitary and a lot more seen.
